Okay if you’ve sent e-mails or being expecting to hear from me via e-mail/twitter/facebook etc I’m sorry! My computer is wireless and the connection hasn’t been great of late so Glenn googled it and then reset the router as apparently that would do it. Except now the router won’t even register the internet even though it’s there *groan* He spent a good portion of Saturday growling and snapping as he tried to fix it but to no avail : ( and we can’t ring the 0800 number for help as it won’t accept cellphone numbers and our phone-line is through the internet and router, so not working *sigh*
It seems very wrong that a company that advertises its routers as a way of having a cheap phone line don’t have any method of contact other than an 0800 number that DOESN’T accept cellphones and an e-mail address. So we’ve sent an e-mail and otherwise I’ll ring them when I get to work on Monday (at which point they’ll probably say ‘do you have the router there?’ and I’ll have a screaming hissy fit at their STUPID set up). So in the mean time I will be able to snatch brief moments on Glenn’s computer (like when I posted this) and I’ll work on the Smashwords version again (still some errors ;p) and planning book two. Maybe I’ll practise with the whole ‘speech to text’ thing. I have this (probably somewhat romantic) notion that if I plot it out well I can just ‘tell’ the computer the story and it’ll write it for me… once we sort out some basic issues (like the difference between ‘and’ and ‘end’) and I’ll have the first draft knocked out by the end of Feb *grin* wouldn’t that be grand!!Have a great weekend everyone and as mentioned please don’t be offended by my lack of attention – I’ll be in touch as soon as I can!
Well that sucks! I hope things get straightened out soon.
Good luck with the connections and the tech side of things and getting help off the company!!! Booo to them all!!
But yay for your next novel!!! That's brilliant!! Take care

OOOOO I hate that kind of technical difficulty. Good luck with it all.
BTW: Your angry face is pretty cute!
oh dear, that sucks!
there is a program called Dragon Naturally Speaking or something that you can speak to the computer and it will type what you say.
Of course you have to go through 'learning' with the computer so it gets your accent and intonation of course!
I didn't like it, so we deleted it off the computer.
I hope you get everything straightened out. I hate techie problems….
Have fun with your new novel.
Happy New Year, Nicole!
That's terrible. I HATE technology problems. They make my stomach burn…ugh! I hope everything gets better!
Edge of Your Seat Romance
I feel your pain. We have 2 laptops and there for a long time neither one of them would recognize the wireless signal that was there. and then (don't ask me what I did) one day I tried to connect again and voila! It had fixed itself.
In the interim, can you connect a cable from the router to the laptop and get a *manual* connection to get through?
Hi! I just downloaded you book! I can't wait to read it..
Have a nice weekend!
xxoo
