An Absence

Hey folks.

It’s been a while since my last post. Was going to do one last week but ended up being off work and college sick for the week with little energy to do much. It reminded me just how rubish day-time TV really is and how much I don’t miss it, except maybe two and a half men, it has its funny moments.

One of the latest editions to my computer “network” is a Samsung N110 netbook. This topped with two PCs and my laptop means that I have built up a bit of a small home network. One of the PCs is fecked, so it is being used for parts for the other one and the laptop needs an overhaul as it is running quite slowly and having a few issues. The netbook allows me to have a platform to work on at all times as it is portable and combined with my HTC Hero I can gain access to the internet anytime and anywhere.

I have been using the HTC Hero as a HSDPA modem for when I am out and about. I dual booted the netbook with ubuntu and windows 7. Ubuntu is winning out so far as I love its simple and easy to use GUI and I am learning where different functions are in Ubuntu all the time. So far so good.

I was also hoping to go into my trip to London recently but think that I will save this for a separate post of its own. Saw a lot of things and did a lot things while there for 4 days.

Anyway that is it for now.

Talk again soon.

PC Problems Again

Technology is a something or other at times. I love technology and all things computer related, but sometimes I find my love for it lacking. When it works, it works great, but when it starts to give trouble, it gives proper trouble. My PC won’t start up. Gives and error message telling me that the system battery is low, and then proceeds to tell me further that the OS won’t load.

I’ve had a similar issue to this before, where the PC would not load the OS, I had to change hard drives as the first one was fried and I lost a lot of info, but I reckon that this is more related to the system battery being low and not allowing the OS to load until the battery is replaced. Thankfully this time there is not as much stuff on the hard drive as the last time due to a fresh start along with the installation of windows 7.

Going to try a battery that I have in a PC that I don’t use that is left lying around. Must check to make sure that it is compatible first.

I’m back. Finally got the site back up and running, very temporarily. As you can see it is set on the default wordpress theme. Soon to be changed I assure you. It might take me a few days to get things to the way they where as I have lots of reports and projects due in college over the next few weeks and to top it all of, I have exams too. So blogging and my blogs appearance will take a back seat for now.

Well it’s now 3am and i’m not long home from work, just delighted to have the blog back up and running. So at this late hour I will say good night and talk to you again soon.

Night night.
