:narrows eyes at network:

burntcopperI hate you. Understand that I hate you so very, very much. Bought network card. Figured out after a couple of goes how to open up the computer, inserted, (mum the tech support on the other end - it's always useful to have a sys admin as a parent) installed, and proceeded to spent the next three hours trying to re-do the network wizard, poking at the ip addy, etc, etc, with added Meg tech support and then when mum came back around half ten for check-up, talkign through it, checking on it, hitting refresh... and then it suddenly decided to work. :hisses: I hate you so very, very much. Apparently dad's one at work is temperamental too. So now it is happily transferring all my files in batches.
Tomorrow, more poking of computer, installing progs, if in doubt copying every single email that has vital info in it into one massive text file and lumping that over if transfer settings doesn't work watching downloaded stuff on this compy (now named Aeryn, the desktop is Talyn, and the connection is 1812), and then trying to find the cd that has the activesync thingy on it. (how my pda merges with my computer)
Also, physio, possible ghost-walk thingy with Megs and Jenn, and more planning out of nano. Found back when I wrote the Sharpe/BtVS crossover that it is much, much easier if you have the chapters worked out, with added quick descriptions. Even if it's just 'fight scene, get to his place, sex scene with these two, added sex scene in the morning', it means if you stall chronologically, you can get scenes out of the way. And remember, flashback chapters are your friend when you're stuck. My only fear this year? Cinders contains no fight scenes. I probably won't write more than one sex scene, if I write any. If you see the appearance of an extended slapstick scene, it is not my fault. I got desperate, and they're even easier to write than fight scenes, because it's 'this followed this followed ohmygod who left that there for so-and-so to step on?' and the word count just gets *gobbled*. Here's hoping Dandini babbles like a trooper.
