Man, what a week!

First order of business - the challenge webpages are not up to date.
I'm sorry, I'm working on the problem. It's not laziness, it's a
technical glitch.

My new laptop is wonderful. I'm just trying to get some of the
problems straightened out. When I first put the wireless router in,
before the laptop came, suddenly I couldn't access newsgroups anymore.
Got that fixed - yay!.

Then the laptop came, and I couldn't get it to communicate with the
other computers or print. Ugh. Got that fixed - yay!

Then I couldn't install the program I use for doing webpages, had
misplaced the key code. Ugh. Got that fixed - yay!

Remembered that I hadn't updated the form pages for the challenges.
Oh no! Updated the pages, went to upload them, but ftp won't work on
the laptop for some reason. I did manage to find another way to get
those 2 pages online, but the laptop does not want to FTP. It will
connect to the server, but there's some problem with the server
talking back to the laptop, it won't even give a listing of the files
in the directory. UGH! That one still hasn't been fixed.

My birthday was last week, and DFi came into town. Of course that
then meant dinners out, and he wanted me to bake a pie for him, and my
mother insisted that I had to have a birthday cake. Surprisingly I
discovered that I didn't gain anything when I weighed in this morning.

DFi is moving later this week, so I drove back to Edmonton with him
yesterday. LONG day in a car, and the primary foods consumed were
gummi bears and twizzlers. Although on *two* of the stops for gas DFi
did pick up - potato chips. I'm proud to say I only had a few, and
there are still 2 bags (out of 4) unopened. I also drank 2.5 litres
of water, a Tim Horton's Iced Capp (made with 1% chocolate milk) and a
coffee.

I did some of the driving this time, and I can now wthout hesitation
say that I truly hate driving a stick shift.

When DFi signed the lease for the house he's moving into - which was
last month - I told him then that he should start packing up some of
the smaller things that he wouldn't use. He gets the keys to the
house on Wednesday, we're doing some renovating on Thursday (taking up
the carpeting in the bedroom and putting in hardwood tiles) and then
the move itself is Friday. On Saturday, while at my place, we were
reviewing the schedule and DFi says "oh, and we should pack on
Thursday". Yep, that's right, hasn't started packing yet. And when
he thinks we're going to do that on Thursday when we have to do the
carpeting/flooring, I don't know. So packing is now scheduled for
tomorrow.

And so that I can use the laptop here, we're getting a wireless router
tonight! Which means I'll be jumping through the same hoops as before
in order to get it to work properly on another network.

So the summary of all that is - it's going to be a busy week, and you
probably won't see me around much. But I'll be lurking. Please
continue to post/email your challenge stats, and I'll get the website
updated as soon as I'm able to FTP again.

Just to add something...

DFi has almost no food in the apartment. I've got a box of granola bars and
the leftover gummi bears for breakfast/lunch! Ack!

Also, I've just discovered that someone in a nearby apartment must have a
wireless network because I booted up the laptop and lo and behold I'm online
with it. So at least I can get online with my own computer now, and maybe I
can try and fix the FTP problem today while DFi is at work.
