He's part of the generation of computer users, and a big help to me, keeping up with the latest developments.
Notice anything funny in this pic? This is my twin brother that I shot for one of my assignments in a class!
There's always more to a desk than the computer that's sitting on it. (Contains many notes; for those of you seeing this image via solecist.net, you'll need to visit the original on flickr to see the notes.)
A shot of my work-at-home setup (laptop and cartoons-on-TV) after a computer virus trashed my desktop.
In 1969, Honeywell released the Kitchen Computer. It was designed for housewives to be able to store and retrieve recipes. Unfortunately, it had a terrible, unusable interface, and its price tag was a whopping $10,600 (in 1969 money!)
It appears that none of these were ever sold.
Day 228 of 365
So I spent most of tonight trying to get my desktop working again. When I tried to uninstall a program that was expired it caused a crash. Since then, every time Windows does an auto update it crashes and I have to go back to the last working configuration. I can't seem to get past that. Tonight I just wiped it. The problem I have now is that I can't locate the backup disks that came with the computer and Gateway hasn't been real helpful because the computer's warranty has expired.
I've gotten it back up with an older copy of Windows, but that disk isn't passing Window's verification. I may have a solution for that, but to tell you the truth I've had it with the thing tonight. At least I got the internet working for it so I've been able to download a lot of the drivers I needed. I'll play with it some more tomorrow and hopefully I'll be able to get it working to my satisfaction.
The thing is four years old now, so I'm thinking that it may be time to buy a new one.
Thank god I still have the laptop!
Or students will be prompted to work on computer software programs focused on enhancing reading fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. We primarily use the Read 180 software. However, other programs like Study Island and my own web based projects are available for students to work on.
This chap lives under the computer, he has a nice soft tummy to polish the screen.

This is my office space at the newspaper where all the magic happens with the computer. Actually it is more likely where the computer likes to crash but ...anyhow it is home to me.
