My printer will not work without a cartridge. I thought I had both a colored cartridge and a black and white cartridge, but I was wrong. I have cartridges I have for the printer is a color cartridge and a photo printing cartridge. Neither of these is going to solve my printer problem because I need to replace the black and white cartridge. I may have to replace the colored one as well.
Fortunately, I have enough money in the bank to purchase one, perhaps two cartridges, for the printer. I ope that solves the problem because I have to scan something in and e-mail it. I suppose if it does not solve my problem I will have to find someplace that will let me scan and e-mail the item or call the 800 number to see if they have a fax number I can fax the information to. At least the technical difficulties I am confronting today are those that I can solve.

Tribulation Tuesday: Technical Difficulties
Fiḍál (Grace), 10 Kalimát (Words), 171 BE - Tuesday, July 22, 2014 about 5:17 pm Pacific Daylight Time
All right, to some technical difficulties may not seem like something that could cause unhappiness because it is something one learns to expect when dealing with computers. However, the technical difficulties I am referring to have nothing to do with computers. The technical difficulties I am talking about are moments or hours of depression and fantasizing about worst case scenarios, things that might happen but never occur.
In my case these technical difficulties cause me to procrastinate and worry. Procrastination causes stress because eventually I have to do the jobs I have put off. Worry causes stress because it lets my imagination run wild while rehashing everything I think I have to worry about. The stress causes me to lose stuff because I lay it down and forget what I laid it. The stress also cause fear because I forget words that I should know and I scar myself.
I know that some of what I just wrote does not make sense. I am not worried about making sense right now because the only thing I want to do is write. Writing helps alleviate stress. Prayer helps alleviate stress. I have to find my prayer book because I laid it down and cannot remember where I put it. I am experiencing technical difficulties today. I have experienced technical difficulties all week and I am putting a stop to it right now.
After I finish this entry I will say my noon prayer and then wash my lunch dishes. Once I accomplish those things, I will get back on line because I have more writing waiting and surveys to complete. I need to earn a little more money this month so I can replace the money I have to transfer from the savings to the checking so that I could get a little gas in my car.

Dealing with modern technology
‘Idál (Justice), 14 Rahmat (Mercy), 167 BE – Wednesday, July 7, 2010 about 12:34 PM Pacific Time
I am not sure what is causing the problem, I just know there is a problem. My computer is running slow, the CPU periodically runs at 100%, and today I encountered a stack overload. In addition, my printer still is not working. I have decided that a new printer will settle the printer issues. A new computer could take care of the computer problems.
Now that I stated one way to solve the problem, I have to find a more economical and feasible solution. Other issues in my life take priority over technology problems. Therefore, I may have to call a computer tech in to do maintenance. I have attempted to diagnose the problem, maybe I need to clean up the hard drive before I do anything else.

Midweek reflection April 14, 2010
‘Idál (Justice), 6 Jalál (Glory), 167 BE – Wednesday, April 14, 2010 about 7:50 AM Pacific Time
Three have past
and there are three days left,
the week is half-gone:
Where did it go?
It is Wednesday, hump day and the rest of the week is down hill. I hear the trash collection trucks as they make their midweek rounds. The noise of the garbage trucks is a comforting sound; it is a pleasant sound. Trash is collected twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday, and recyclable every other week on Saturday.
The week is half-gone:
Where did it go?
Please answer my question
because I am not sure I know.
The week is half over and my browser seems to get more stuborn all the time. I do not know the problem; I do not know how to solve the problem. I have to find a solution because it is difficult working on line with a slow browser. I suspect most of the past three days slipped away while I dealt with the slow browser.

I think I’ve solved the technical issues
Jalál (Glory), 7 Bahá (Splendor), 167 BE – Saturday, March 27, 2010 about 3:38 PM Pacific Time
I think I've solved the technical issues for the time being. My browser is still slow and sometimes it gets hung up waiting on a download, but if I click the link a couple of times I get to the website I want. I delete the cookies and the history before closing my browser. I also delete the history and cookies a couple of times while I'm working online.
I'm now typing the website addresses or copying links from e-mails into the address box. I know this is a temporary fix and that eventually I'm going to have to figure out and solve the problem, but for now this works. I have some writing and posting to catch up this weekend, so I'll deal with the technical issues when I get back from my doctor's appointment on Monday.

I'm still encounter technical issues
‘Idál (Justice), 4 Bahá (Splendor), 167 BE – Wednesday, March 24, 2010 about 1:18 PM Pacific Time
The technical issues don't prevent me from working online, at least not completely. The issues prevent me from working efficiently. I don't like to call the problem difficulties, but they are becoming irritating.
The problem is my browser, I don't think it's the Internet connection. Anyway, when I attempt to go to a website the message is "waiting for connection". In addition, it takes longer then usually to download graphics. I've found a way to work around those problems for the present, but I'm going to have to find a way to solve them.
If I can't figure out how to solve them by the first week in April, then I'm going to have to call one of the techs who make house calls to assist with this issues. I'm not looking forward to that, but I don't know any other way to solve this problem.

Technical Issues All Day
Fidál (Grace), 3 Bahá (Splendor), 167 BE – Tuesday, March 23, 2010 about 6:40 PM Pacific Time
I've confronted technical issues all day. My browser running slow and website taking several minutes to load, I'm not sure what the problem was, all though it could have been my virus detection program running a tray icon scan. I rebooted and the problem appears cleared up.
I downloaded a newer version of my virus detection program today. I think sometime after the program completed downloading and I ran the regular virus scan, I inadvertently click on the tray icon and cause it to start scan. After I rebooted that scan wasn't running any more. I'm going to have to be a little more careful about what I'm doing.

A Few technical difficulties on Wednesday
I'm having a few technical difficulties today. My scanner can't seem to find it's imaging software so I'm going to have run a diagnostic or something. See if I can figure out the problem. In the mean time I've posted all the picture I have on the hard drive of on CDs. I hope it's not too difficult or expensive to solve.
Here in Las Vegas there is a slight wind and it's a bit chilly or I think it's chilly. It rained a few days ago. There is snow on Mount Charleston so the ski lodge is open and the snowbirds are happy. I'm not sure when the lodge opens or closes. I haven't visited the lodge itself. I've been to Mount Charleston just never visited the ski lodge. I'll have to do that some time, I have new tires but to visit the lodge this time of year I need chains.
