Fairly low key today. Not much to write about, in all honesty. The first one was just the famous phantom printer windows love to do, and that's why she "couldn't print". Of course what reasonable, normal person would think to check and see if maybe there was another printer in their "Printers and Devices" control panel. It's plugged in, there it is, it should print. But nooooo windows has to duplicate it, and then not let you print to the other one. Which is the same one.
Then over to Vince, another weird printer thing, but this time I think it really was the printer. I looked at the "port" setting and it had the same address as the laptop I was currently looking at. Huh. Went over to the printer, changed the IP address to be static rather then automatic, and tried running the wireless setup again. I got to the point where it was asking for the password and it kept saying it was invalid or incorrect or something and it started printing. I guess the machine found it again. So, whatever.
Then the last at 6:30 was checking a machine, her AOL account was spamming people (big surprise) so she had changed her password. Malwarebytes found some stuff, so that was good. Still running firefox 3.6, that was updated.
So really even that one didn't take me more then half an hour, so disappointing, in a way. Spent the rest of the day finishing Dresden books and starting Steel Egg. It's eh.
One so far tomorrow. I'm talking to my bestist buddy Bruce (the liar) again, seems he finally has the money to buy that computer at long last. Or so he says. Called him again today, because of some sob story of him and walmart or whatever, but I could barely understand him. I told him I would call him again tomorrow when he was feeling better.
Two for tomorrow, blue screen guy, the guy who didn't want xp reloaded. Who knows. And a clean out at the end of the day.
