My Heroes

Disaster struck a couple of days ago when I turned on my Viggo, only to find out I had no internet. So far my laptop has been performing perfectly well, with only one crash during the two months I have had it for. And even that one was caused by myself, as I have the bad habit of opening at least ten different windows, run my web cam and watch some video at the same time. So in that way it was quite normal that I sort of freaked out when something serious appeared to be wrong. After some hitting, cursing and despairing I however found out that my Viggo was sill the flawless laptop I had, but that the problems were caused by my wireless internet card. My father was so nice to immediately go and replace it by an newer and somewhat more expensive one, but of course that didn't solve everything. I immediately contacted Pablo, who after all installed our internet network here at home some weeks ago, and begged him to guide me through the re-installation of my Viggo's place in the network. At some moments the end of our friendship must have come near, as I am afraid I am not the biggest computer expert. Incredible how he held his nerve and didn't give up his attempts to give me instructions to find and open the correct files and enter the correct numbers and so on. After a two hour struggle he succeeded and became my eternal hero. :P Very kiitos again. (k)

I have found some things to occupy myself with in the coming days. First of all the biathlon world championships have started this weekend, so far resulting in two golden medals for my favourite Norwegians. It'll be harder to keep track of the races when being at work, but I'll find a way. ;)
Furthermore I have finally taken a look at the second DVD Pablo copied for me in Turku, this one with 11 episodes of "Heroes" on it. Yesterday night I saw the first three and I intend on watching a few more today. I really am a wuss though, as I already got scared a few times. :P I doubt it is meant to be a thriller series, so that shows again my resistance to even semi-scary stuff on TV. ;) But I like it a lot so far, so in a while I will let the rest of the season be sent this way.
