Not much happened today

Got back home, with electricity and internet. Went to a few more parrandas (Puerto Rican caroling). and a bit of other random things... but otherwise, nothing to special...

Tomorrow I'm going to try to figure out what's wrong with the family computer. As far as I can tell (from the Dell website) it's a card error and a memory error, which might be the same thing, except I haven't the slightest idea how yet. Well, wish me luck tomorrow... Hopefully, I won't get zapped. (If it turns out, as I suspect, that we can't fix it, one of my cousin's cousins works at an IT place, and we can give him a call too.)

More on this tomorrow...

The last two days: electricity and internet?

Well, here I am at the other side of the island, in the little "summer house" my parents got built over the last year. It's nice and cozy and all, and for the most part, it's not bad.

However, there have been 2 major inconveniences: no power and no internet...

When I say no power, I mean that the electricity has not been hooked up to the house yet. At the moment, we're running off of a generator, mainly because I had to write my Graduate School essays, and was able to convince my dad to let it run for a while.

And no internet... well, I managed to steal a wireless signal from one of the neighbors (thank you linksys and unsecured networks). It's not the best signal, but it's not too bad either, since I can get on the internet. However, it's not at good as having a full blown signal that doesn't cut out every now and then.

Well, the last few days have been fun. I've been to several parrandas (Puerto Rican caroling), and I've been enjoying my iPod. I just got an iHome and a sleeve thing for it, so I'll be using that as my new alarm back at school, and using the sleeve for when I go to Leid (it's one of those that wraps around the arm).

Well, I'm off.
