So what did that mean on my Facebook when I said I did what the techie from DTC couldn't do??  Well Thursday night I was getting ready  to watch the Everest show I've been watching for the past little bit, and I turned the Roku on and it sputtered.. What now??  Well the router was acting up, or was it the modem??  OR WAS IT BOTH??  My ability to fix anything on the computer is limited to weather I can access the internet.. If I can't access it, I'm as dumb as they come.. So Thursday night the internet was down.. Friday morning it was down and I decide to call DTC and see if they are working on it.. Turns out they aren't so she walks me through a few test things and when that does n't show they will have to send out a tech guy.. I'm not sure we will be back early enough for the guy to get here and check it but.. As it turns out, we got here and he did come over.. He connects the computer directly to the modem just like I did when the lady I was talking to told me to do and everything he did I did except for one thing, he power cycled the modem. I didn't do that so.. I feel kinda stupid because I thought for sure I would have to get a replacement modem and bought one at walmart earlier that day.. The modem isn't the problem, it's the router.. So we are still without the internet to the wi-fi equipped toys (the laptop and the Roku).. So rather than give up and go and buy a new router today, I do some digging.. Now I have the greatest tool in the world for working on things computer oriented, I have the internet and more to the point I HAVE GOOGLE ... So I type in my problem and click open all the pages relative to the cause.. After reading several I get the idea to recycle the router.. Recycle the router as in power down and click the recycle button and do things that the pages  say to do.. Then as a last gasp effort after all else failed I put in the disc to the router and try to find something relevant to the effort.. Having to restart from zero, as if the router is brand spakin' new.. And I did, resetting a few settings (anyone who could get on the network here might not be able to now, but then again might just have to push find the router).. When it all was said and done it worked.. And that is when I start feeling pretty good.. I fixed what the techie couldn't.. Maybe he could have if he didn't have the weekend staring him in the face..

So Thursday I was looking at some videos again, the fractals that I used before in the majority of the Infinity Project videos and got so many ideas to try a few more, so that will be what I do.. What will the project be called??  I thought about it but can't think of any new name to call it.. Might be phase ?? Not sure..

I saw a laser effects video last night I would love to get and put music to.. Really awesome, it was on the Side Tick channel on the Roku.. Trying to find it online somewhere.. Really want this one.. Anyway what and internet adventure the past day was.. Hope it never happens again..
