In between periods of downloading apps/updates or letting installs happen while getting my computer back up, I managed to get my first set up done on the new Logitech Harmony 1000 remote control and I must say, thus far, I am impressed. In the past, I have been a Philips Pronto remote control owner and […]
Computer Issues Continued

You might remember my recent post about computer issues. Well, tonight I finally made some progress. I was able to get Windows XP reinstalled on the machine without having to wipe the hard drive. So, all of my date is intact. I make daily backups of the critical data, but there was a lot of […]

Argh, computer issues have struck my relatively new computer. Something or someone has caused my machine to not allow us to log into Windows anymore.

Mr Papa’s World and most of my other sites are all claimed as blogs over at Technorati. For grins, I thought I would pass along my current ranking there as blogs go. Currently, Mr Papa’s World has a blog ranking of about 174,000. I dont fully understand how they calculate that ranking, but it’s based […]
