I hate computers and they hate me
So, on Friday night I decided to reinstall Windows on zorac, on the grounds of it having developed a tendency to lock up of late. ( Collapse ) Having done all that, you can imagine my delight to discover that XP is still subject to random lock-ups. *stabs*
Last night, the gale-force winds managed to give me a nice little power-outage. Initially, all seemed well, until later in the evening visar (and thus my Internet connection) died. A post-mortem this morning revealed a dead power-supply as the culprit, and given that it was the one thing not on a surge protector... This afternoon I popped into PC World to pick up a new case and another surge protector ( Collapse ) I had something that worked, in a Frankenstein's monster kind of way.
All that really got in the way of me getting anything much else done (other than shopping trips), so my evil plans to take over
the_restricted appear to have been thwarted yet again. Wah.
