Developing Patience

Waiting for a call back to sort out WAN problem at work... about 100 people can not effectively get there work done. The second time the tech on the provider end told me it was on my LAN. Some testing later and it was not. Got to love packet sniffers and ping! Called back to the tech and many other techs and waiting for that call back. Leaving voicemails in an emergency is never fun. Now for everything else, I've just been flustered by not being able to finish any project. My big fractal project is on hold because I don't have enough ram, and my partitioning scheme is messed up so I can't easily get a big swap file. The issue is with gimp needing twice the memory of the pic to edit it. So two 300 meg files makes it want to have 1.8 gig of ram... My music project is on hold do to lack of inspiration or getting to flustered with the tools I have. Bunny and I are looking for houses, but we still look waiting for the house that has everything that we want. We have a few that have almost everything we want, and that are in good areas. We are just wanting to look at all the houses we marked from the listings before settling with something that does not have everything we want.

All of this just makes me realize all of the things I want to do and could not do so far. Just got to get going and work on other things when a current project hits a wall.

Well my issue turned out to be a Linksys DSL/CABLE router plugged in the network that had the same IP as our WAN router.

Houses are ongoing, but I'm starting to realize if a house has been on the market, there is a good reason. Not sure how we'll be able to pounce on a house. Still have one more batch to go look at and then we start pouncing. }:-)
