Life Stories: February 2014 Archives
I love buying used books from Amazon for $0.01 each. Sure, most sellers charge $3.99 for shipping, but I can easily find 10 books from the same seller and combine the shipping costs. Here are the books and series that are currently in my cart:
-
These first two are series that I read as a kid from my dad's collection. Alas, the books were disposed of when my dad passed away.
- Sector General series
- Lensman series The final three are titles I discovered while reading about cosmology.
- The World at the End of Time
- Uplift series
- Eater
After installing Windows 8.1 on my wife's laptop it would not connect to wifi or the internet. The computer kept saying "limited" connectivity and none of the built-in troubleshooters could fix the problem. I reset the router numerous times, rebooted the computer, updated everything, reset the TCP/IP stack, etc. In the end, the problem was that while installing 8.1 Microsoft removed my wireless adapter drivers and replaced them with a new Microsoft version! Argh!!!! What the hell?
Reverting back to the manufacturer's drivers solved the problem.
