Falling forward; falling forward(?); falling; falling;…CRASH!

Picture an uphill climb where you lose your footing and slide backward.  This is the analogy for the past three weeks on my internet marketing trek.  Men typically swear, throw or break things when angry or frustrated {so, I’ve heard}.  Women cry.  I’ve sobbed for hours and swore as well, UNTIL I realized that I will never fall to the bottom…

I Have Learned Too Much…and there are many of you out there to help me regain my foothold.

Have you heard of the ‘BSOD’?  The ‘Blue Screen of Death’ shuts down your operating system.  This can be caused by a virus or a bad hard drive.  If it is caused by a virus, you may be able to get back up and running with an operating system fix or registry fix.  If this doesn’t work, you can do a total re-install of the operating system and drivers.  Hopefully, you have all of your files backed-up currently.

I had all of files backed-up except my email.  Unfortunately, some of my account IDs and password confirmations were there and nowhere else. MY BAD.

If your PC does not have the capacity for the work you are doing, you can wear out the hard drive and require component replacement.  {Not necessarily a new computer, Sister}

I was able to get online using a ‘live’ UBUNTU disc, but it didn’t have the capacity for videos, etc. and involved learning a little about a different operating system. 

I messed up my email on this site and could not get my log on info.  When I found my handwritten notes, I’d written it down in upper case instead of lower case {now I really feel STUPID}

“Yes, Virginia.  There is a Santa Claus”  He came in jeans [SO] with a new Vista desktop [even tho' he is a die-hard Linux user] AND a new hard drive and memory for the laptop!

So, even though I still have more software to install and my digital phone line is not compatible with my new 64bit machine, I’m saying..

“GET UP, TRINITY! GET  UP! - [The Matrix]

There are blogs to visit, links to create and traffic to generate and whether or not I missed the $1000 competition, there are fewer than 100 on Dean Holland and Garry Parke’s blog rolls, so I might still be in the top quarter of the 500 who signed up for Alex Jeffrey’s Coaching program.

I’ll be back,

Ivy Maria

    Hi Ivy!

    Wow… you have been through a lot of stuff with your computer! Computers are one of the most wonderful things in the world but when they mess up they are a pain in the butt! I am so glad you have stuck it out and still heading forward. I think that all the problems you have had are a good sign that you are on the way to success. :-)

    Congrats on the new computer too. I love new computers. :-)

    See you in the webinars!

    Beth,

    Thanks for the empathy! And congratulations on FINDING me, since I’ve only managed to get to a couple of other of Alex Jeffrey’s Coaching students’ blogs so far.

    Whether it is a weed wacker slicing the connection cable, a bad hard drive or the microphone not working on Alex’s Vista machine, I guess it is part of the process of learning about the ‘Tools of the trade’.

    I’m going back to your blog to visit soon. I’ve still got to get on Twitter and I’ll see you there, too.

    Ivy

    Hi Ivy, commiserations on all your computer trials and tribulations. Computers are miraculous but when they go wrong, oh. boy, you could throw them out of the window! Still, you have managed to get over that hurdle and start making your way again. Good on you.
    I would really appreciate your visiting my site to see my latest post as it concerns a poll about Alex. Thank you in anticipation.

    Thanks Paul,

    I’ll be on my way over there for your “Post & Poll” tonight yet. This might not be everone’s idea of the way to spend a Saturday night - but to each his own…
    I’ve got to put in the effort to make the progress and I’m Still Havin’ Fun!

    Glad you found me,
    Ivy
