PageRank Changed Again

I'm so confused on this whole google pagerank thing. When I first started my blog, it was ranked a PR3 then it dropped to a PR1. I know why it dropped then. I pretty much quit writing and lost a lot of readers. Anyway, I started writing again and last month got it back up to a PR3. But, I logged on this morning and it is now showing that it's dropped to a PR2. Argh! I've not done anything different so no idea why it dropped. I guess I'll just go with the flow. It would be nice if it would stay at a consistent number, but I don't know how to do that so will just go along for the ride. I just hope it doesn't drop any lower.

Nervous Breakdown

I thought I was going to have one last night. For my son's birthday, he received an IPOD and ever since he has been online each evening, downloading songs onto it. Well, last night something went wrong and he completely froze up his IPOD AND my computer. After rebooting, my computer didn't want to come back on. Not good since all of our business information is on this computer! I sat in here and messed around with it for about an hour. When it finally came back on, the screen was blank! No programs showing up at all! I could just feel my stomach knotting up because all I could think about was having to try and remember our over 2000 customers, their addresses, billing information and our inventory. Sure, I have the program backed up on disk, but my head wasn't thinking about that at the time. I was just peeved that my computer was on the fritz. Thankfully, after several tears, screams and frustrated yells, my computer finally came back to life, all programs exactly where they should be. My son, who has sworn to never touch this computer again, was very thankful that he hadn't made his mom have a nervous breakdown too. We still don't know what happened, but do know that from now on the music downloads will be done from my laptop instead of this computer. That way if something goes wrong, I've not lost vital info. Whew!

I'm having withdrawal symptoms!

My email program has been down all afternoon and it is really starting to cause me grief. Email is my lifeline to the outside world and my friends. I don't know what the deal with it is either. I've called our service provider and the tech guy said to give it a bit then try again, there wasn't anything wrong on their end. So I did that, but still nothing. Argh! It's amazing how much we rely on technology now and how quickly we go insane when it's not available.

I'm Wireless Now

FINALLY switched over to wireless internet and all I can say is WOW!!! Why in the world did I wait so long to do this? I'm loving how fast the pages load now. Before with my dial-up, I would sit for half an hour or longer sometimes just waiting for a page to load. There were several times that I would just give up and shut it down because it was taking way too long. My kids are going to be in heaven now that their online games will load in seconds too. I'm sure I'll be fighting them to get on the computer for awhile now because of it.
