GeekGhost - On-Line Computer Repair ServiceThanks so much for all of your support! I'm sorry I haven't been able to answer emails or reply to comments, visit, play, complain... The good news is that everything is going well with the book although a firm release date hasn't been set, but we're working on it. The bad news is that my computer got hit by a particularly nasty virus. It shut down my anti-virus and took over Internet Explorer so that every time I opened it I kept getting pop-up ads. Grrrrrrrrrrrr
Geek Ghost is the company I used to fix my PC.
I highly recommend them!!!
They fixed everything right over the Internet. They're great at removing viruses and spyware! Their engineers fixed and cleaned out my registry -- a favorite hiding place for hackers and viruses -- and not a place for the average user to be playing around! They also found and removed a *Stealth Virus* that I had hiding on my computer that my anti-spyware and anti-virus never found. I'd give them a visit if you think you might have something (or someone) mucking about on your hard drive. Especially if you don't have your copy of the system CD, there's nothing worse than trying to fix your PC and accidently deleting files that your system or programs need to keep working (Yes, I did that - lucky for me they had the files to replace the ones that I deleted!) They're perfect if you'd just rather turn your updates, maintenance, and repairs over to someone who can get it done fast and avoid the hassle.
And they're very inexpensive compared to paying for a technician to visit your home or office, or worse yet, having to drop your machine off at a repair center and pick it back up. Personally I'm sick to death of trying to get someone from my Service Provider to 'talk me through' repairs, I wasted a total of 17 hours on the phone with some guys in India who, not only couldn't I understand what they were saying, I actually knew more about computers than they did! By the time they were done, I had undone my entire network and my wireless connection was history. And then they wanted me to wait 4 days for them to send a technician out to me. Not a problem, I just won't work for a week - yeah, sure, right ;)
Here's the site that fixed my computer and helped me get my network back up and running, including my wireless devices - In Less Than an Hour and for under a hundred dollars! Can't beat that!
geekghost.com
Now you don’t have to take your pc to the store to get it fixed. Through this web site you can connect to certified engineers. On line, while you watch, they can fix just about any pc problem a store technician can.
A shameless plug but I love these geeks! Now if they could only add about five more hours to my day I might have some time to devote to blogging. Sheesh!
I'll be around to visit as soon as time allows.

Some Good NewsThe book is well under way.
The publishers couldn't be happier.
The bad news...
The deadline is March 15th! And I'm still writing, re-writing and editing.
Some days I swear that I can't pull one more coherent thought out of my head, the next day the words come so fast and furious that I can't write them quickly enough. What I have now is such a jumble that I'm not even sure I can re-organize it. What I need is an assistant. And a new mini recorder, mine chose the worst possible time to conk out.
Among the unbound fragments
found after Emily Dickinson's death
is a small slip of paper that reads only,
"But ought not the amanuensis to receive a commission also --"
I'm no Emily Dickinson, but I completely understand.
I've come to believe that dictation is the ultimate act of love.
To have someone who cares for your words enough to make that sacrifice is a precious gift that cannot bear the weight of a price tag, nor can it be given enough gratitude.

Home Again
I arrived in the middle of the night. The past couple of weeks have been nothing if not surrealsitic. I've stepped into my past. The visit home was good for my soul. I was able to go back to the places that I lived when I was growing up. I drove those old familiar streets and gazed upon the houses that I lived in when I was little, seeing them through my adult eyes was such a differnet perspective. The houses that once seemed so huge to me now seem so small.
The house that I was born in has now been razed and the corner lot is a vacant expanse of grass in an otherwise full neighborhood. I was told that it burnt many years ago and had to be demolished. Still, I took a picture of where it once stood.
I took many pictures on my trip. I'll share them soon.
But for now I'm working my way back to normal. It was wonderful to feel the embrace of my family. It was even more wonderful to look at the old family photos.
Thank you all for your love and support.
