Yay!! We are into double digits for instalments.

In the rewrite I'm going to have to break up the talk again. I have a very bad habit of doing that. Blah blah blah. I really hope I'm not boring the hell outa everybody... the two or three people reading, that is. :)

Let me know what you think... errors, comments, badly explained parts, good bits, offers of money and sex.... you know, the usual. :)

Note that what follows contains adult concepts.
The love of two females for each other is central to this story so if you are offended by that stop reading now.

some hopeless computer geek I am

I got fed up with slow network speeds between my computers. It is OK for transferring individual files, but for backing up hundreds of megabytes or even some gigabytes it gets tedious waiting for hours for all the stuff to transfer. The other day I finally coughed up the money for some nice fast ethernet cards to replace the old 10Mbps cards I have. Didn't take me long to install them, and not much longer to install the drivers. But then the hassles started. I couldn't get the network to connect. I tried heaps of different things including opening up the machines and making sure the cards were in properly (yep).

I must have been tired because it took me ages to try what should have been the first test. If things don't work then swap over parts, including cables. Well I finally swapped cables around. Should have made no difference, right? Wrong. It became immediately obvious that the old faithful cables I'd been using for years didn't like the high transfer rates and became unreliable. I pulled out the old cables and replaced with new ones and all problems solved. I now have nice fast ethernet. (Yay! OK. Hopeless or not I am a computer geek.)
