thistlechaserMy "new" computer (six or so months old now?) still isn't fully set up. One thing I didn't have working was the ability to download photos from my camera. I didn't have the right cable I needed, spent hours on the phone trying to buy a new one (apparently the camera I have needs a special one), then finally dug my box of assorted computer crap out of my closet and hunted through it. Success! The cable I needed!
Hooked up the camera to the computer... nothing. Needed a driver. Went to the website, downloaded, installed. Dire Windows warning "strongly suggesting" for me not to continue, the "windows logo" wasn't authorized or some crap like that, warned if I installed it that my system could become unstable. Ignored it (which will likely come back to bite me in the ass later). Still didn't work. Checked the website again. The camera needs special software, too. c.c
Searched around for anywhere to download it from, nothing. ~.~ Finally checked my removable harddrive (which still contains the backup from the old machine) and found the software there! Yay! (Irony of this is that tonight I'm intending to backup the new computer onto that same harddrive. Goodbye all old stuff! I hope there's nothing else I ever need!)
Connected up the camera... and it worked! Woo! So what pictures had I taken that were so important to download? Why, photos of my cat, of course! :P
My mother bought me a giant stuffed dog (seriously, it's almost as big as I am!), my cat decided it's a good place to sleep. The fur is really long (like an inch and a half) but not very soft, so I'm not sure why she likes it. Maybe it's warm?
My kitty loves clean laundry, so you can't leave it around on the floor otherwise this will happen. Leave even the smallest opening and she'll worm her way in.
So yay! Photos! Maybe I'll take more soon or do one of those 'tell me what to take a picture of' type memes.
