Hardware nightmares from hell day

| techie stuff | | Comments (2)

So my phone has been behaving poorly. When I get a call, it would reset the ringers to not alert me. So after every call, I had to check and reset the ringers. I've done a hard reset and lo, things are better now. But I haven't put my data back on my phone yet, not my applications. This will need to be fixed soon, but at least if the damn thing rings, I don't have to worry about missing a second call. Update: synching up data and apps brings back the ringer problem. Grrr. I'll hard reset tomorrow and figure out what to do.

And my PC. I need a time tracking program (for work). So I went to Lifehacker and found this. I installed it but didn't start it (or I didn't think I did) and slowly during the morning, my typing got more and more messed up. (Example ABCs) Scary shit. So I uninstalled it and rebooted. And couldn't log in (my password has an "a" in it). *panic* I finally figured out how to get in (because using the arrow keys inserted more characters) and ran SpyBot. Nothing found. Did more poking. Went into Control Panel > Keyboard and reset my keyboard settings to default. Rebooted. And now things are better. That was horrible though.

There's another link to a time tracker that works in a browser. I might check that out. But not today.

My heart couldn't stand it if things got fubared again.

This begs the question - if you're phone isn't responding when you call it..what are you calling it? ;-)
