I am a saint. Darlene, my ex-wife, had her computer break. So I took over my computer so she could do her eBay stuff. It is my only computer. It has all my stuff on it. It is set to auto log in with my user name and passwords etc.
I tell you the Catholic Church needs to make me saint.
She has had my computer now for about 24 hours.
I found an old junk computer here that Russell had messed with in the past. It has duck tape holding parts in the computer and a memory chip laying on top of the computer. It has XP on it. It worked.
I found some parts around here and formatted it and put Ubuntu 10.1 on it. But I forgot after all this time how to set up the partions. So I had to install it about five times until I looked up how to set it up.
It seems to be working. I have not put in the memory chip yet that was on top of the computer.
But I am back online. I could check my bank account. I paid the electric bill. I paid the cable bill. I made a $25 Kiva loan.
Now I am posting to ShowMeBlog.
I am back baby.
I have not checked my email yet.
I have not installed Skype (I use that for phone service.)
I am going to have to get my computer back from Dar.
She is even more poor than I am and she makes a few dollars selling videos on eBay.
She needs a computer.
If the duck tape will hold on this computer she may just end up with this piece of junk.
