I do not think I will try another entrelac project soon ( as I am still recovering after the last experience :)) but the lace tops are fab. Anyway just wanted to say your posts about the japanese kntting have been a great inspirations. And I loved the spider story - we've got a huge spider in the living room as well, for about two years now and we manage to accept each other in the end. Never been disapointed with spiders as I've been with men :).<BR/>Good luck with your computer - hope you can sort it out soon. <BR/>best wishes, SilviaSilviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03899016372884824322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-32691770209120627982007-03-21T21:48:00.000-05:002007-03-21T21:48:00.000-05:00Computer hell.

But at least my computer, and connection, works!<BR/><BR/>I'm really writing to ask if you worked out the Japanese superimposed pattern? I've just done a swatch of the shell motif of pattern 360 - and it looks wonderful. A fiddle, but with practice it will get better. Now I'm going to swatch the whole pattern to see if the method is too much of a pain when you have several motifs to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-84989804283574289872007-03-21T16:47:00.000-05:002007-03-21T16:47:00.000-05:00Darn it. I typed a long comment and I got a "reque...Darn it. I typed a long comment and I got a "request could not be processed" message. Anyway, the Gateway I use dates from '01 or '02. It now runs Windows XP and (as to software) works fine other than always crashing this one rarely used game. The printer has a problem. The computer insists that there is more than one printer/scanner connected to it. (HP printer/scanner/fax[not hooked up]/copier is connected to the computer) This would not be a problem--but only one of the printers/scanners will work. And it is not always the same one! I have actually renamed one of the "printers" after a fictional villain. <BR/><BR/>An old (1996/7) Compaq Presario obviously has less capability and will sometimes continue playing a CD when all signs of operation have ceased and the computer appears to have shut down with no reason. Another story: <BR/><BR/>For a while, every time I tried to run RealPlayer, I'd get a computer crash. And on that same computer, every time you'd log in, it would come up with "installing.." or "updating", something like that, this program. <BR/><BR/>I now use Firefox rather than IE and I love when Firefox message-OK boxes say "The page at www.fakepage.org/this_is_not_a/realpage.htm says "Blah...Blah.blah." (Obviously, that was a "John Doe" message with totally fake data filled in.)<BR/><BR/>What operating system is your computer running? (Windows, obviously, but ME? XP?)I'm just curious, as it seems to be the hardware part of the computer, but XP seems to get fewer "blue screens of death" (in my experience)<BR/><BR/>Hope you get a computer that will work well!Arachnerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972838916995292277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-5543223195120921132007-03-21T08:19:00.000-05:002007-03-21T08:19:00.000-05:00This might help :)Japanese Haiku Computer Messages...This might help :)<BR/><BR/>Japanese Haiku Computer Messages<BR/><BR/>The Web site you seek<BR/>Cannot be located, but<BR/>Countless more exist<BR/><BR/>---------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Chaos reigns within.<BR/>Reflect, repent, and reboot.<BR/>Order shall return.<BR/><BR/>-----------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Program aborting:<BR/>Close all that you have worked on.<BR/>You ask far too much.<BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Windows NT crashed.<BR/>I am the Blue Screen of Death.<BR/>No one hears your screams.<BR/><BR/>-------------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Yesterday it worked.<BR/>Today it is not working.<BR/>Windows is like that.<BR/><BR/>---------------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Your file was so big.<BR/>It might be very useful.<BR/>But now it is gone.<BR/><BR/>---------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Stay the patient course.<BR/>Of little worth is your ire.<BR/>The network is down.<BR/><BR/>---------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>A crash reduces<BR/>Your expensive computer<BR/>To a simple stone.<BR/><BR/>--------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Three things are certain:<BR/>Death, taxes and lost data.<BR/>Guess which has occurred?<BR/><BR/>---------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>You step in the stream,<BR/>But the water has moved on.<BR/>This page is not here.<BR/><BR/>---------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Out of memory.<BR/>We wish to hold the whole sky,<BR/>But we never will.<BR/><BR/>------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Having been erased,<BR/>The document you're seeking<BR/>Must now be retyped.<BR/><BR/>---------------------------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Serious error.<BR/>All shortcuts have disappeared.<BR/>Screen.

There's always something... including a DVD player that sounds like you're crinkling wax paper whenever someone talks. The guy in India couldn't help, even after 4 hours.

I've grown quite fond of these guys. After the last two lengthy chats, one where I informed them that yes, indeedy, there was an OS called Vista coming out, (they had NO idea two days before the event), I hung up and fixed it my ownself. Praise be, the cheap-o big-box laptop is doing just fine. Earthlink, however, is about to be replaced. But I'll sure miss "Sam" & "Bob."<BR/>How many jars of peanut butter have you packed, Fleegle?

We got the brand new router when our older one ceased to function. We too have had many hours of conversation with persons locataed in India. We even took the laptops out of the house to several other locations where we connected with no problem so we knew it was not the computers themselves. Finally, We are, in fact, connected having changed channel settings. I do not belive my sanity would have been able to sustain the insults your poor mind has had to endure with your computer system. Here is hoping you will get back a computer that will function for you! You have my heartfelt sympathy!Lacefreakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.com
