gmonkey42Wow, lots of public posts today!
It thought I'd get more done but I've been sitting around waiting for a driver for my camera to download. I was just doing some routine updates this morning when a message popped up saying I had to get a critical update for the firmware that would prevent the camera from catching on fire*. So I downloaded that but when I tried to install it from my computer, it said I had to have the driver installed and I guess I never bothered to do that. Of course I can't find the disk now, so I'm downloading the driver. It's taking hours.
I'd get something faster except I can use my parents' AOL account for free and that's pretty nice.
I don't want to leave it unattended in case AOL logs me off (it's not supposed to while I'm downloading something but it has before). So my activities for today have consisted of:
1. Practice the TurboKick routine. I've got the warm-up and punches sections down now.
2. Heat up some Pillsbury Orange Sweet Rolls out of one of those tubes that goes "POP!" when you open it.
3. Read things on the internet.
There's a TurboKick class tonight and I'll go to that. I assume the downloading will be done by then.
*I'm not even exaggerating. It said if I used a regular battery (instead of the rechargable battery it came with) then tried to plug it into the recharger, the camera could get way too hot and possibly catch on fire. Not that I'd do that with the battery anyway but I thought I might as well get the update.
