wherein Liz is hot, tired, and annoyed

[edenfalling]

I wish my computer was better at indicating that it's downloading updates, since that tends to reduce my internet connection to a snail's pace because all the bandwidth is already in use. *sigh* On the bright side, I think it's done for now, which means I may be able to actually update my antivirus program instead of having its update attempts stall out yet again because the connection is too slow.

(I also backed up all my documents, music, and pictures onto my external hard drive, which I do not do nearly as often as I ought to. Ah well.)

...

Anyway, it's about 90 degrees, there's a chance of severe thunderstorms all afternoon and evening, and I have a mile to walk home from the public library where I am currently typing these words. I am tired of summer already and it isn't even officially here yet. Blegh.

Oh, I *hate* heavy weather. Ugh. Here's hoping it abates soon, and your computer goes back to work.

Sympathies on the hating-heat front, and on things running irrationally slow.

How I wish for a thunderstorm and rain. 32 degrees Celsius in the shade in South Moravia yesterday. Today, the sky is completely clear and the day's shaping up for a repeat, and that's been going on for days if not weeks. I keep cool by keeping the windows open at night...

And I feel you on the computer updates. If it's any use to you, Linux (Ubuntu, at least) is very user-friendly in that regard. But I still need Windows programs on the laptop I use for school, so, yeah, not always an option. :P

Ugh. hot and humid here, too, which I cope with by cranking AC I'm afraid. It's the south. And mighty uncomfortable. I hope it cools down soon for you! How is your remix going?

This happens to me all the time (or, used to). It was worst when I had dial-up, and the internet actually could not do anything for the next 10 or so hours.

Oh, ugh, I hope you got home ok.
