::A geek in the family::

A geek-- Hey, who handles tech support at your place? You? ...the six year old? ...or someone from outside? ...and how about in your web space? No, we're not looking for techs; we're just curious . It's usually me. My parents are clueless...and now that my uncle is gone, no one else in the family does web design like I do...and I actually kind of love setting things up. Shoot, I connected one of the lab computers to the Internet today, and set up a printer...it was fun, until the thing started going sooooo slow...

in the-- computer? Just a curiosity for the designer types: what Operating System are you running? ...and which browser? Since sites can show up differently in different browsers it's more than a casual question. I love my Mac. I will always get a Mac, given a choice. But I do admit that pcs are better for gaming, and the internet does seem to be faster on them. And they get the cool little scrollbar effect that doesn't happen on Mac IE *pouts* And as much as I hate bowing to Bill Gates, IE is the only browser I use.

Family-- Do any family members read your place? Do they care? Do they have a clue? ...and how about your 'off line' friends? ...or do you supply a little bit of separation there? My dad just told me the other day that he read some of my story online, which is cool. Then he asked me how long it was gonna be. I told him I had about seven chapters so far, and he said, oh, so about ten? I laughed. My aunt has checked out my site occasionally, and I'll probably help her out when the Asher Shew Ackelmire Gallery goes online. If we can ever get the various issues surrounding the fact that Uncle Johnnie didn't tell anyone how to get into the hosting accounts, and now he's...dead. Yeah. So if any of you out there know how to transfer ownership of a domain from a person who's died to someone still living, please let me know

(I'm doing this here because I want to try out that TrackBack thing.)
