You know what I hate? Computers!

That's not entirely true: what I hate is how everything with computers becomes so entirely complicated around me. I'm trying to secure my wireless network (yes, FINALLY. yes, I'm an idiot), and it's just not working at all. This is why I kept putting it off! I would look at "secure wireless" on my to-do list, and a shiver of dread would go through me, because I just KNEW it was going to be frustrating and complicated and not go right and make me cry. And look, prophecy come true! Right, back to ignoring it.

In the "good things" column, the beeping has gone away for good - it was back on Thursday night, so I called building management on Friday morning, about that and my non-draining bathtub. And I don't know if they did anything, or if they now think I'm crazy, but there is no more beeping. AND my bathtub drains again. Hooray!

Next up: convincing myself to get dressed and go buy groceries. Self, I realize it's snowing, but the groceries aren't just going to magically appear at your door. Don't you want food for breakfast tomorrow?

...wow, I'm really unconvincing.

Maybe I'll just convince myself to have a cup of tea and read a book instead. Something tells me I'll have better success at that.

This is all I've talked myself into doing all day. I've had maple cream tea and Chinese Japanese Cherries green tea, and finished off two books. I need to switch to decaf or rooibos or I won't sleep tonight!

Seriously, can't you just get food delivered for dinner and get regular groceries tomorrow? ;)

I totally didn't make manage to buy groceries. Oh well!

I'm starting to have to be very careful about tea with caffeine too late at night. Even too much chocolate can keep me awake. And my sleep is faaar to precious for that.

How's the wireless-securing going? In case nobody has told you yet, do it while plugged into the router. It's too much of a pain to do it while you're connected over the wireless.

(If you are seeking help with the securing, let me know...)

I tried that, but I just can't get the page to load (the address that supposedly gives you the place to fill in actual information). One time, it got about half loaded and I was all excited! But then the rest of the page never appeared, and everything I needed was on the bottom half of the page. Dude.

Have you managed to secure the network yet? Trying to help via LJ comments or e-mail is probably doomed to failure, but if you think there's anything I may be able to help with, do let me know. Or, you know, just carry on ignoring it. Lots of people do.

Heh. I have, so far, been ignoring it, but I'm going to attempt to tackle it again some time this week. I will succeed! I'll ask if I think there's anything that can be explained to me, though, thank you. :)
