So today I spent all day resurrecting a fellow's malfunctioning laptop... with success I might add -but only because I erased the hard-drive and reloaded the OS fresh... then learned that the version I had was missing most the newer drivers needed ...so had to search and install those (without knowing what they were I might add!) Again success - but am wondering how I could lose an entire day so someone else can get their daily dose of spam and popups - SIGH! It was a challenge I couldn't walk away from - and I got to see the mess that uninvited virus/spy/adware can make of a perfectly decent system! ... I will make some $$$ but not nearly the value of an entire day. So I have to settle for success and helping a family keep their internet connection (fix?). Seems like computers in my life have been unreliable of late - perhaps the Universe's way of telling me to go out and paint more! :)
I have been busily learning Flash and DreamWeaver and css scripting so I can put up a nice site for Sears Island... A site where people can submit stories, photos, art, poetry, video that appreciates our wild coast. Web design seems complicated if you want more than text and photos... I'd like one page to be an interactive form where people would finish the sentance - "This Island is special to me because ..." fill in the blank and have it be an ongoing wall of Sears Island praise. Of course I can only hope that many would post there!
