Comcast Internet suppose to be faster than DSL? I got comcast cable again..you'd think I'd be happy about it right - faster speeds, quick downloads but damn its slower than DSL and it keeps going up and down, up and down all day today. At first the comcast techs were telling it was something on my end causing the problem so I switched out the leased modem for the original one that I bought 8 years ago when comcast was still "At Home" service, that didn't help..so I called Comcast back, they still said it must be something on my end. I changed the channel on my wireless router - no help. I finally called Comcast back about 10 mins ago - they are finally sending out a tech to help tomorrow. But by now, I'm just pissed off and utterly happy I haven't called SBC to cancel the DSL yet because if they can't get this working right, back to DSL I go. The gods are conspiring against me today..time to get off the computer, maybe tonight I won't dream about taxes update: it was two things since i originally installed via the wireless router and not a direct connect to the computer, the install didn't setup correctly (Comcast troubleshot onsite today) and my wireless router is dying causing intermittent flux in connection - has since been disconnected so I'm calling SBC tonight and disconnecting DSL - no more static on the phone line, wahoo!! and I'm going to have to buy another wireless router eventually, for now, the cable line is just going to have to run across the dining area floor. 12:41:40 AM    comment [] trackback []

need your opinion I redesigned my shimmeringenergy site and wanted to know what others thought about it My mom apparently doesn't want me to have anything regarding my blog designs on the site but that's her opinon and since its how I started designing website, those links will stay and for some bizarre reason she doesn't like my poetry now but then again that's her opinion, I like it, its part of who I am..so it stays.. What I need is outside opinion (non-family members)...so lets me know what you think :) 9:40:31 PM    comment [] trackback []

Creativity flows out of boredom A friend of mine told me to make a great artist, one must be bored. Artists are born out of boredom essentially because they have free time to think, to dream, to create. I was explaining that I have a design business but I just didn't have a whole lot of time anymore with the professional services business to work on designs and that when he told me that creativity flows when one is bored. Partially I think he is right, I can't make the dreams happen and I can't make the free time happened to create because when I try to make time for the art, nothing flows, there is always something else I have to do. And I can't make myself be bored, it just happens. Although I might have more free time coming up soon, as one of my clients has put his project on hold for a couple of weeks and I wonder does free time = boredom? 5:03:26 PM    comment [] trackback [] Newbie Themes Test Page

SQL, Crystal, Autocad & Music - Broussard/Collective Soul nothing like learning SQL and Crystal Reports for a client and then trying to figure out logical statements in Excel all in one night, I think my head is going to explode with all this information and sometime tonight I need to figure out how to set the default font on an autocad drawing - anyone know that answer? and all i feel like doing is dancing, love the new Collective Soul-Better Now and Marc Broussard-if you haven't heard his new song, Home, you should download it. 8:36:35 PM    comment [] trackback []

decided not to move just yet..... well......I've decided to stay here another year....as it seems that its not time for me to move just yet....i've called 50 or so places, found one little perfect place but it seems I have too many cats, a few have offered if I could find them homes, then I could move in - NO WAY!! This is my family, I've had my cats for over 10 years!! So since I do have a home and I'm not being forced to move or anything, I'm staying. I also promised myself when I moved here, I wasn't going to move me or the cats again, until I bought a house...so its definetly not time for me to move yet, I haven't reached that goal. And way too much stress dealing with people that are somewhat cat friendly but don't understand having more than one cat to love or the magick of having more than one cat. I'm not feeling the magick out there, where is all the love? New goals are build the business...maybe get to a point where I can hire an assistant, find a local pet sitter that I can trust, save the money, pay off the bills, buy a house - hopefully within the next year or two. (then again the housing bubble might burst..giving me a better chance to buy within the next year :) ) 7:55:49 PM    comment [] trackback []

If all else fails, at least I do have a home that is ok with the cats..now back to the regularly scheduled events of work, more work and more work but I think the grumpy girl's design is completed 7:37:06 PM    comment [] trackback []

dwelling on moving... something is going on inside my head and I just feel off. My lease is up at the end of March and there are millions of reasons to move back to Pleasant Hill my gym is there my bank is there my pet sitter is there my vet is there it is closer to SF i won't have to cross two toll bridges a day - savings of 60/month gas cost should be cut in half if I could find a cute 2bd house, then I could have a yard for the cats again my pet food store is there I shop there - Target in Walnut Creek is so much nicer than Vallejo if I want to go out, even people that live here say they go to Walnut Creek to eat my friends are there - its too far for anyone to come out here and I have the money to move - deposits, first rent, moving company etc.. all great reasons to move, but I think I'm looking too soon, my lease isn't up til March 31 and I don't neccessarily need something today, I need it mid to the end of March I'd love to buy a house but realistically I don't think I can afford to for a few more years. I'd love to rent and I know that if I stop stressing about it, I'll probably find that cute adorable house in the perfect neighborhood with a landlord that likes cats. I've been stressing on the rent costs for houses, I guess I should have just done the math before freaking out, I can afford to rent a house, even a 3bdrm house in Pleasant Hill..ok that helps, I don't feel like completely screaming. Relax, hot shower, stop dwelling, let it out!! The perfect place for me and the cats is just out there waiting for me(one with a tree and a backyard) I will find it when the time is right. Actually I did find an adorable house on a end of a lane and its available now but I'm not ready right this second, I guess I could call and just see :) 8:47:38 PM    comment [] trackback []
