Nearly killed myself this morning with exercise.

God I am out of shape.

Ah yes, that sounds familiar. It does suck when you let a routine slip.

I don't know if you're up for it, but if I find an interesting peer reviewed article that's required (since we have no book), I may shoot it your way.

By all means. My brain could use a little more diversification than Law and More Law. Now, whether I have time to read them is another matter entirely...

So make sure you maintain your routine of not exercising. Got it.

I just realized that I have no consistencies in my language regimen besides perhaps two full years of French. My electives are similar too. I've dabbled into too many different things. College is for experiencing new things without consideration of having limited funds, right? Roight.

Eh. Focus is for post-grad anyway.

Idun · « **Reply #180 on:** January 15, 2010, 06:43:07 PM »

If you go into college and learn a ton of stuff about a ton of stuff, you'll be a better, more intersting person for it on the other end of things, and really, what more could you want? I was all over the place in undergrad too, and I'm happier for it ('cept that one accounting class I took. Only thing I learned from that was why business majors drink so much).

I was fairly focussed in that I took largely humanities electives in my University days, but yes core Psychology does not need more than introduction to Sociology, doesn't need any Feminism and certainly didn't need that one Modern History class I took, but it was totally worth it. Beat the fuck out of doing Counselling theory only for 3 years (did that as some electives as well though).

So I'm having some annoying Internet problems. I can't get the wireless to work in the house. So basically the wireless works for everyone but me, but other wireless networks besides the house one do work for me. It says that I can't renew my IP address and it keeps saying it is "waiting for the network to be ready" before ceasing operations and going back to having limited connectivity. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this.

Grefter · « **Reply #184 on:** January 16, 2010, 07:50:44 AM »

run cmd

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

I realized this morning that there is no way Spock should have existed. And it kind of bothered me, but it bothered me more that I knew that Vulcan blood was green because it has copper instead of iron in it and that's why he can't exist.

119 days spent on these forums. Dear god. >_>

I am at 3 days....hmm.

Anyways, has anyone been paying attention to the whole NBC Conan/Leno thing? I for one don't think they have given Conan a fair shot hosting the Tonight show and it looks as if he is leaving now.

Oh well, I will follow Coco where ever he goes.

So I did this. The command prompt said that the media was disconnected and that nothing could be performed when the media was disconnected.

Check your network card to make sure it is connected properly (Easiest spot is on the back you should have a green light show even for onboard), next go to System, Hardware, Device Manager, check to make sure you don't have any driver conflicts happening, if that is happening then you might have to check and see if you have MAC filtering applied on your router or something playing up.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #190 on:** January 16, 2010, 04:35:17 PM »

How do I know it is conflicting?

Talaysen · « **Reply #191 on:** January 16, 2010, 07:52:04 PM »

Generally you'll see a yellow exclamation point or something, I believe. To be sure, you could find your device, go to Properties, and see if it says "This device is functioning properly." or some such.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #192 on:** January 16, 2010, 08:00:46 PM »

It seems to be functioning properly. It just seems to be a problem with finding an IP address on this one specific server. Things seem to work fine otherwise (I am using the card to connect elsewhere after all...)

Grefter · « **Reply #193 on:** January 17, 2010, 01:10:53 AM »

See if you can connect to the router at all with it (go to your browser and just try connecting to the IP Address of the router, probably 192.168.1.1) and see if you can do that (Probably cannot).

If that happens.
From another computer go into the router and check security settings, see if MAC filtering is applied and have a general browse through the menus and see if anything in particular springs out.

I broke my glasses. The stupid right arm just plain fell off. Not a missing screw -- the piece that goes INSIDE the mechanism came unseated. WTF?

While I work on figuring out how to fix this and/or scheduling a slightly overdue appointment with the optometrist, I still have a lot of contact lenses from my last appointment (never wore them since I got them). So I'm wearing those again.

GOD it is a pain to poke your eyes deliberately twice a day. Took me a good 5 minutes to get them both in this morning and a good 10 to get them both out again tonight. This is still much improved over the 20-30 minutes it took when I first got them, but still. Glasses? BAM, they're on and I can see!

I very much feel the same way. Jenna hate glasses and wants contacts again, but the hassel of dealing with contacts does not seem worth it to me at all.

Shale · « **Reply #197 on:** January 17, 2010, 10:29:20 PM »

Putting in contacts was an enormous pain for the first couple of weeks, but once I got used to it, taking more than 30 seconds is a rarity. And I like having peripheral vision.

Lady Door · « **Reply #198 on:** January 17, 2010, 10:32:07 PM »

Having peripheral vision again is an amazing thing I didn't even know I was missing. It's like the world just got 30% larger!

Still, poking eyeballs.

VySaika · « **Reply #199 on:** January 17, 2010, 10:38:30 PM »

I guess my own glasses are so large that I don't actually lose much of my peripheral, so that doesn't occur to me.
