#ChallengeToWrite - Something in my house I can't live without

#ChallengeToWrite

One thing in your house that you can’t live without, and why?

The one thing in my house that I can't live without (Other than my kids) is my computer! I know it's sad but I don't get out much and my computer is how I connect with everyone... Including family. I work on the computer as well as a bit of play. It's become a HUGE part of my life!

I've always been a computer person. I had a computer in my room as a teen and took computer classes in high-school. I use to do nothing but play the Sims games and surf the web but now that I'm an adult, the computer has many different uses for me these days.

I'm a Photographer - I use my computer to edit and store my photos. I have programs downloaded to help with the editing and I have been known to sit and edit photo's for hours!

I'm a Blogger - As you all know... I run a blog. No, you don't have to have a computer to run a blog but I prefer to have one. I don't have an iPad or a notebook and i don't like blogging on my phone but I do have 2 desktops and a small emachines laptop (It may not be a great little laptop but I only blog on it so it works for me. My daughters goto PBSkids.com on it sometimes but not often) I am ALWAYS on my computer, I try to blog all day but I freeze up and I'm always behind a bit.

I'm a Gamer - I LOVE Games! My favorite game is for Xbox (The Fable Series) but I am a huge fan of Sims and other fun games. I play facebook games (sometimes), Games on Swag Bucks and that's pretty much it.... When I need a minute away from blogging, I play a game :-)

My computer is how I know whats going on. I don't watch much tv so if I lost my internet and computer... I would be lost for a bit until I got use to it all being gone. (I could get use to it though because I've done it before)

What's the one thing in your house that you can't live without?

WLOS ABC 13 - Will You have Internet on Monday?

WLOS ABC 13 - Western North Carolina's News :: News - Top Stories - Will You have Internet on Monday?


Have everybody heard about some people losing their internet tomorrow, Monday? Apparently in 2011  a virus was set out to steal IP addresses. The government busted the people behind it and built lots of new servers to fix what the hackers had "rewired". But now they are closing down the back up, which means that if your computer is infected with the virus that was let out in 2012, then your computer will not be able to access the internet on Monday! There is a way to fix it. Below is an article I found on my local news webpage. Check it out and then click the link to make sure your computer stays in working order!!

Will You have Internet on Monday? When the computer trojan virus, DNSChanger, creators were arrested over 8 months ago the FBI began shutting down domains that may have been affected by the DNSChanger malware.
The virus, which has been circulating the web from as far back as 2007,redirects internet traffic to sites with paid advertisements where cybercriminals can hack into unprotected computers.
Authorities say some 275,000 computers are still at risk.   
On Monday, the FBI's temporary Internet servers will go dark, leaving thousands of unsuspecting malware-infected individuals without online access.
