More computer woes

Hi, everyone. Just a quick post made from work to let you know that I'm currently unable to access the internet at all from home. This just happened last night. I suspect a particularly nanny-like security program called Zone Alarm is to blame. It seems to have arbitrarily decided that our internet browsers (both IE and Firefox) are some kind of threat and won't allow us to connect to them.

Of course, this had to happen when my husband is away and I don't dare just ininstall the program because I suspect it's one of these ones that leaves things behind in the file registry that have to be removed by hand (and very carefully indeed. Can't even access the Zonelabs user forum to see if anyone there has had a similar problem.

My husband is back tonight and I'm keeping my fingers crossed he'll be able to sort it out quickly but it depends how late he gets back and what sort of mood he's in unfortunately.

Obviously, this means no update today but I'm hoping normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

:Waves gloomily:

And that signals my nite-nite. See? Told you I wait up for your post. Unfortunately for the both of us, it's not the next chapter of COA. **pouts**

See you in the wee smalls tomorrow, hopefully.

Oh crap, not again. I fear that Zone alarm is going to have to be binned!

*hugs* Computers are both annoying and really cool. Hope that you get it sorted, hate think of going wuthhout your for too long. But hey, at least you can post from work.... *hugs in case they have to hold you for longer*

Tell your hubby that there are a bunch of women staring desperately at him with tear-filled puppy dog eyes and quivering bottom lips who are depending on him to get them their next dose of CoA before they go into withdrawal.

Sorry about the computer problems. It's so frustrating having to deal with them sometimes.

I suspect this is some diabolical failsafe that Wesley had up his sleeve. When you reconnect you will find him out of the tank again!

Seriously, best of luck with the software - we who are desperately awaiting more CoA salute hubby!

*hugs you* Let's hope hubby comes home soon and plays the hero for all of us!

*fingers crossed*

This is the Gods, horribly aware that CoA is going to end soon, trying to spin it out as long as possible.

I'm so sorry you're having problems, Deb. I had Zone Lab at one point and it caused problems so we uninstalled it. Unfortunately, neither of us can remember exactly what the problems were. Hopefully your husband will be able to sort it out.

There's not much point to this post except to wish you all the luck. Today's update is much missed and I'm sure you miss browsing your flist. Fingers crossed you'll be back on line very soon.

hi, aww poor dear.

Hey Deb, sorry to hear about your 'pooter problems. I can totally sympathize.

Read an entry on Darker_Spike that your Coming of Age fic is finished. I for one would love to read it - maybe get some ideas for some manips and fakes. Thanks! :)

Deb.

Hi.

Chrissy here. I heard about your story and I'd love to be able to read it, so if you can, do you mind friending me? Thanks!

Hi. I wasn't quite sure how else to contact you so sorry that this is irrelivant to your post. I've been overseas and then in hospital so haven't been on the net for ages. I popped into this site to see if anything had been updated re. the follow up story of Coming of Age but I can't see any of the Coming of Age story postings, only your general postings. I was friended by you and have read the whole story but am wondering if somehow I am locked out. I have been so looking forward to the sequel and desperately need something to read. HELP!

Hi Deb!

I wanted to let you know that I am back on LJ. I’m keeping a pretty low profile, but I do plan to post a couple manips at [livejournal.com profile] decade_of_spike, and I am very much looking forward to Age of Unreason. Friend me, please?

I hope you are well and happy.
Danna
