susandennisI got to the pool this morning and my iPod Shuffle was barely working. I couldn't get it to pause. The button that changes playlists and gives audible cues wouldn't work. Actually nothing really worked. I finally got it to change playlists but then couldn't get the volume up very much. So my swim was kind of frustrating.
I got home and the internet had died... again. I got it started but the webcam wouldn't work. I rebooted it and then focused on the Shuffle.
I tested it and no go. I ordered a new one and then went to the website to see how to invoke the warranty. Interestingly it has a one year warranty but any of the same thing purchased after March of this year have a 2 year warranty. Anyway, I read over the FAQ's and thought I'd test one more time to make sure I hadn't locked it. I plugged in the earphones and it worked fine. WTF?? I canceled the order and tested the webcam.
No go. An hour later I had discovered that Comcast, apparently gifted me a new IP address - at 2 am this morning.
Then when I thought everything was working, the desktop machine took a turn. It could ping websites but no browser worked. It's rebooting now. Holy crap on a stick.
Ok now everything does seem to be working... I hope.
Whew. That was a not fun way to start the day.
But, it's bound to get better. Nothing big on the calendar today. And the way-too-hot of yesterday seems to have calmed-the-fuck-down to normal. The sun is out and it's still warmer than I want but at least it's not uncomfortable and the next two days are expected to be cloudy and cool. Yeah!

Neither is my language. There has been and will be swearing of all kinds. If you are offended, I totally understand your choice not to read.
