Preventing Insomnia in Your Computer

I’ve found myself using the “How to Geek” site more often than I’d like to admit. I’m a woman, after all, and I’m not supposed to concern myself with such matters, right? I know. WRONG!

Of late, my computer has had some insomnia. It awakens in the middle of the night, lights flash, it makes noises, then it goes back to sleep. How to fix? I haven’t gotten to the bottom of it yet, but this site has diagnostic strategies that seem reasonable. This is for Windows 10.

I’ve been continuing work on my States project. Yesterday, I completed AZ and CA. Today I’ve added Oregon! You can access this project from THIS LINK.

In other news, we got our sectional today! It’s big and beautiful (pictures soon) and it should solve a few of our issues.

  • Jodie can sit with us while we are resting in the evening (though she has always preferred the floor).
  • If we are ever able to have guests again, it forms a sweet conversation area, which we were missing in our other arrangement. This area now will comfortably seat 7.
  • If we are ever able to have family visit again, we can all sit on the sectional and watch TV.

Alaska Page Added: Alaskans are “frankly amazed” at the quality of the page

Yeah! I added Alaska! The capitol is … not very nice, but it’s there. I posted a few trail pix, too, just so the page would have some color.

In going through my Alaska pics, I found that I had many other non-Alaska pics in there. And I had a ton of extraneous non-whale pics. These are pics that one shoots when one is trying to get a pic of an actual whale, but then it dives under.

Today I’m working on photos for Kansas’ page. If I do “just” one state a day, I’ll be done in just 50 days!

Another ALL NEW Post type!

The excitement never stops over here at myJanee.com! Pixels are a-flyin’ and I’m getting things done. Today I added another new post type to my site — States. I’m doing this with the Custom Post Type plugin, which has been handy for me.

This is where my state pages are housed. That’s right: I made new pages, one for each of the 50. They are all blocked and ready to be filled with wonderful pictures of all of our adventures. Well, those and the state capitol pix, too! The pages are not posted yet.

Other than arguing on the Photoshop Beginners group that one actually CAN do vector artwork in Photoshop, slowly recovering from this shingles shot, and grieving over the passing of one of our more esteemed Supreme Court Justices, life has been pretty quiet. I did edit some of my Washington State photos and posted them. Maybe it’s time for more art.

State Capitol pix are posted for Washington!

I know. You didn’t even know that this was on my list, did you? Jack and I are going around to visit all of the state Capitols, and we have done all but a few. Now I’m putting these all up on my site! The index page is here.

The state pages will include not just capitol photos, but also a few of our general snaps from each state. Ambitious, I realize, but you don’t expect anything else from me, do you?

So far I have done a page for Washington. And I have pics up there! I am going to be posting more of our Washington pix, like our Seattle trips, but these are the ones from Olympia – the capital!

I’m feeling way better today. Yesterday I was running a bit of a fever and just felt puny. I didn’t go anywhere at all and just mostly did web stuff and otherwise sat around. I’m sure it was just my body’s reaction to the shots.

And… in other news, so far, at least, State Farm ROCKS. As soon as they found out that we had our crash, they were all over us — wanting to make sure we were ok, if we needed a rental car, if the RV park needed money to put their sign back up, and making sure that we told them whom to pay. Love them!
