I have a post half-written that is not this post, but it occurs to me that this might be a good place to ask something, before my world implodes just a little bit further.

So - there were a shedload of Windows updates on Friday and Saturday, and suddenly I don't have any wireless connectivity on my laptop. This is a bit of a disaster, cos it ( Read more... )

I was supposed to be writing today. Or going out. Or otherwise making use of the day, which is actually a long weekend (bonus Monday off, which is why I feel bad complaining about work sometimes...) Instead it's somehow 4.30pm, and I have done... what? I've no real idea! I mean, I have been reading Gone with the Wind (for one of my book groups) and ( Read more... )

I know, two posts in a row - I'm giddy with the freedom of being on holiday, and being on a boat where I have time (and the ability!) to go online... *g* This is my second experimental post actually, because I'm again posting from another new device - and it's all tied up with why I didn't drive from MK to west Wales yesterday at a relaxed pace, ( Read more... )

I thought I was so sleepy last night, and then I couldn't sleep at all, so that I woke up all slow and unslept this morning (except that I obviously had slept, since I woke up, but you know what I mean!) So today started behind, and I knew I had a long-ish document and then another medium-sized one, adding up to more than the average bear for one ( Read more... )

I've just discovered that the new computer I've got here at work (massive screen, bigger than the tv I have at home, harddrive integrated into the flat screen) - has a touch screen! No one told me, I just happened to tap it with my pencil when I was pointing out something on a form, and the cursor was right there with me ( Read more... )

So... having a lovely shiny new laptop, and having my files and photos etc safely stored and moved across, the next thing I have to do is re-download the various programmes I've been using. That's fine, except for the programme I use for my palelyloitering website, which was a very old and naughty version of DreamWeaver... Really I needed to deal ( Read more... )

I did it - I went out and bought a new laptop today, and the only thing I'm not keen on about it so far (apart from Windows 7 *sighs*) is that the up-down-sideways keys are the teeniest ones on the keyboard, and it's going to take some practice until I stop missing them... Oh, and they always take away programmes that you've just got used to using ( Read more... )
