Balancing studying with toddlers, whilst trying to get a cross-departmental women's engineering group off the ground.

Tech support hell

Blimey, it's been a while.  My sink is still shiny though!  I am currently doing two main pieces of coursework, we have a group project and are making space invaders.  I have pretty much come to terms with the group project, thankfully I have been able to do the project management so I know that everything is as under control as can be expected.  Space Invaders on the other hand has been hell.  I always seem to get into such a state over coursework, I just hope that programming in the real world is a bit less stressful. 

We have had another women's group meeting, and one person came.  I am having one last attempt down the pub before I give up.  I am also involved in a mentoring scheme at the moment, supposedly supporting girls in IT, this is probably the most loosely based scheme I have ever been involved in.

Sis' has just moved house, we have been doing tech support.  Her pc was too far from the phone socket for broadband to work, so having explained that you can have a 1 pc network she got a router.  We tried to set it up over the phone.  After the first hour we finally got around to figuring out that it wasn't plugged into the phone line.  After the next hour (at her house this time) we found out that she had put an extraneous capital in her internet password.  Boyf' now fully understands why I barely looked at another computer for years after quitting as tecchie/tech support. 

Littl'un called Boyf' "dad" for the first time this evening, he is really chuffed.  Littl'un has been telling me she wants to dance for so long that I have found her a dance class, she is doing tap and modern.  She really enjoyed the first class and I have promised if she is good in the next one I will get her proper tap shoes.  I am not completely convinced I can trust her not to break her neck in them though.
