While lying in bed this morning I had several things cross my mind that I wanted to do on the computer-- people I wanted to email, websites I needed to visit, people I wanted to instant-message...
But I didn't, because my computer was in the room where Dave is sleeping. Now he's awake and off running errands, and...
I can't remember any of them!


Also, I've just done something that has resulted in my cursor becoming permanently invisible, and I don't know what it was so I can't undo it. Talk about disorienting... And, weirdly, my scroll wheel isn't working either. WTF?

Just not having a good morning. :(

Gosh! Saw the heading and thought you got your Mithril comments back!

Ah - computers - pains in the asses, they really are. yet, so indispensable it seems these days.

re: your cursor - have you tried rebooting. Stupid suggestion, I know because you can't see cursor. Can you slave from dave's computer. Don't ask me how - I married my husband so he could worry about that shit.

Oh, not me. I wasn't nominated for any Mithrils.


The cursor reappeared in other windows, so once I closed that instance of the browser window, it was fine. But it behaved exceedingly oddly for a few minutes, and made writing challenging.

I can do all kinds of stuff from Dave's computer but he has it with him in Rochester and is writing a paper on it. :p I have often said, however, that the best accessory I got to go with my shiny iMac was the software engineer who lives with me. Dave's such a good boy. :)
