Still slightly slow, but muuuuch better

SO eventually my internet problems got so bad that I wasn't able to recieve any data at all. But we did pin it down to a hardware/driver problem.

Yes... we. When it got it's worst I was just heading out to lunch, and I asked one of the people sitting outside of the coffee shop if he was having the same problems. He wasn't and offered to help. So after lunch and a virus scan and yet another reboot, I took him up on the offer.

After trying different browsers to make sure that it wasn't a browser problem (which I had already done, but no harm in checking) he set up his laptop so that I could connect through his ad-hoc. When that didn't solve the problem he uninstalled the drivers on the wireless card and on reboot forced windows to refresh the drivers. And that helped.

So this morning I went in and got driver updates for the wireless, and it is doing even better. But it is still slow, but not nearly as bad.

Anyway... I'm hoping that whatever happened is fixed, or almost and that it doesn't happen again.

So, on to other news. Only a week and a half until I head back to school. I'm both ready and not. I would like to go ahead and get it over with, and get that engineering degree. But at the same time... I've had the taste of no homework and I like having free time again.

I do need to remember that this will probably not be bad in the homework dept. I only have one real class. The one I need to finish the degree. The rest of my classes are fun and easy so that I can get to full time status. If i remember right I've got glass (3x), dance(2x), digital photography, jazz band, and basic circuit analysis. Guess which is the real class. Yeah, the circuits. Ugh. I just hope that I can get over my problems with that subject.

OK, enough for today.
