Limiting Internet Time
Posted Tuesday August 18 2009, 7:45 pm
16.F
I feel that I spend too much time on the computer for purposes other than schoolwork. I am willing to admit that I have an addiction to the internet just like most other teenagers do. I want to not check Facebook and my email every few hours.
I used to use a website called keepmeout! and it would block the site for however much time I told it to block the site. It was wonderful; however, something happened to the site and it's no longer working.
Does anyone have any FREE software (no free trials please! I want this to be a permanent thing until I can control myself) that I could use to help me limit my internet usage? I'd prefer not to download anything. If anyone is familiar with keepmeout! I'd love another site like that. Thanks.

iPod --> CD?
Posted Friday August 14 2009, 7:34 pm
Today I burned some CDs off of a playlist on iTunes. Just as the instructions said (as well as common sense), I went to File --> Burn Disk, and the diskes were burned onto the CDs.
When I put them in my car though, it wouldn't read. As if there was nothing on the CD. And when I put that same CD back into my computer to REBURN, the music WAS THERE. So it went onto the CD but won't play in a normal CD player or radio?
What did I do wrong?

Music players
Posted Tuesday August 11 2009, 11:35 am
I'm looking to replace my broken mp3 player. I've had a Creative Zen Vision:M for years now, and loved it to pieces. I flat-out refuse to get an iPod (not a fan of the interface, and I HATE iTunes).
The two that I'm looking at right now are the Creative Zen X-fi and the Microsoft Zune.
Anyone have experience with either of the above? I'm looking at the same cost range for both, so that's not a factor. Just looking for a basis of comparison. Reviews are great, but it's all apples and oranges.

Virus?
Posted Saturday August 8 2009, 11:26 pm
Ok. So I was trying to watch Greek episodes from surfthechannel.com and I clicked on one of the sites for an episode, and my computer freaked out.
I have an HP Pavilion laptop with Windows Vista.
It opened up some Virus Protection program called Green AV Security? And it keeps having windows popping up, telling me I have a virus, when I haven't noticed anything different, except for the annoying pop-up windows saying I have a virus.
Is there a way to stop the annoying pop-ups from these programs? They go every five minutes, and it gets completely irritating.
One pop-up says:
"Green AV protection has detected Spyward program Win32.Monster.fx that is trying to at...

no music, no iexplorer, youtube
Posted Saturday August 8 2009, 9:48 pm
so about a month ago my computer started to act weird. 98% of the time windows media player, internet explorer, and zune will not come up. (firefox does come up though) i click on them and they show up and then disappear in 5 seconds. i'm 99.9% sure i have no viruses so i don't know what's wrong. i am dying without listening to music or updating my zune!
also, this may be unrelated but when internet explorer DOES work, i can go on youtube all i want but with firefox it lets me be go to youtube and watch about 2-3 videos then it won't change the page to go to another part of youtube. if you don't know why this is then ignore this half but i don't what's wrong.
thanks so much for any help and for reading this!

When I'm on my computer at night, all I do is msn and facebook. I've been getting quite bored with it. Is there anything else I can do? I've been playing solitaire and stuff like that, but that's about the only game I like. I like playing the sims though (hoping for the sims 3 any time soon!) So has anyone got any suggestions? :/

Verizon
Posted Tuesday August 4 2009, 2:12 am
someone please help me. this has drove me crazy for weeks. I want to disable the "please enjoy the music while your party is reached" thing, and I know how to, but I have a problem with that...my mom and I share an account. I log onto the verizon website, choose my phone, click ringback tone settings, then it tells me that I'm not subscribed to ringback tones so I can't access the settings page. my MOM isn't subscribed to ringback tones, but I am. so my question is...how can I get it to recognize that it's ME trying to access the settings page, and not my mom? I seriously just don't know what else to do. I got it to work last year but I just can't remember how.
