Briefly Speaking

My new device has shipped and should be here tomorrow. I hope this will solve my connection problems. I guess we'll see. :)

I added a ton of information to my Immortal Watchdogs timeline. I still have more to add from a couple of stories I wrote, and that's what I'll be working on today. Once I'm done with this, I'll be able to resume work on the screenplay and my Immortal Watchdogs: Kalaghata storyline.

There's not really much happening here. The weather is hot today, 94°. We have a chance for isolated storms today and tomorrow, but so far we haven't had any. Thursday through Sunday are supposed to be nice and sunny and a little cooler. Nice! :)

Well, I'd better get started on that timeline. I want to get it finished!

Ongoing Connection Problems

Today, I'll be ordering a device from Cricket Wireless. I can get the device for free without having to sign a contract, and the monthly cost is $20 less than what I've been paying. If I don't like it, at least I won't be locked into a contract. I can switch to Verizon later if I don't like it.

I'll also be looking into Cricket's cell phone service. Jeff's already told me to go ahead and look into it.

As far as what I've got now, I have to uninstall and reinstall the device and software every time I want to go online. It's a pain, but it won't be for much longer.

I also plan to do some writing today. I hope to work on all three projects, but if I only work on one or two, I'll be happy, since I haven't done any writing in a few days.

Well, I'd better go. I've got a lot of work to do, and I want to order that device before I lose my connection and have to reinstall it again.

It's Been A While...A Little While, At Least:

My connection's still not very good. The USB ports are staying on now, but the device keeps messing up my computer...or it doesn't connect at all and I have to reinstall it all over again. I'm going to look into other services. I'm through fighting with this thing. Next time, I won't be getting it through Best Buy. They're not the geeks they think they are. ;)

I've been thinking about moving a lot of my stuff into the bedroom. I don't know how I'll fit it all in there, but I have to try. Jeff said he'd be alright with shelves on the wall. We'd just need to buy the supplies...and I'd need to get some more decorative boxes from Hobby Lobby so I can organize my stuff to be neater and easier on the eyes. I also want to paint the bookcases so they're the same color...I'm thinking antique white, vanilla white, or latte would look really good. And I want a nice big cloth to go over my computer table to hide whatever I store beneath it. It would also hide all the wires and everything.

I'm still in the process of getting all my software and documents back on the laptop like I want them, so I haven't done any writing. I've been listening to the Acheron audio book, though. It's really good! I'm on disc 5 of 19. I'm hoping to resume work on my screenplay, storm story and Immortal Watchdogs timeline tomorrow or the day after. It will depend on how quickly I can get this computer stuff taken care of.

The weather's been beautiful, if a little hot and muggy. We've had lots of sun, which I've really, really needed. Today, we're supposed to have a high of 90°, but it's already at 89°, so I'm sure it will get warmer.

I'm hoping to be back here full-time soon. I have to research the other wireless services and find out what they would cost and what the coverage is like. Wish me luck!

Have an awesome day!
