My computer broke yesterday after I installed some software that I perhaps shouldn’t have done. In my efforts to fix it I appear to have made things worse. It no longer recognises my sound card, my second hard drive, and I’m guessing my graphics card judging by the weird goings on when I try to scroll. I have also managed to erase all my files, none of which I have back ups for.
If this blog suddenly ends at this entry it is because I have thrown my computer out of the window and resolved never to buy another one.
No Dan, don’t do it!
You’re one of the few people I read who blogs pretty much every day. So when I’m completely stressed and need to take an internet break, and because you’re in a vastly different time zone from us, whenever I check there’s something new on your site.
The computer is now in the hands of the professionals so hopefully it is being repaired as I type.
That’ll teach me to try and fix things myself.
The computers back from the shop, and is more or less working. I still seem to have lost the use of my second hard drive, but that can wait. I’ve got sound and images which is the most important, plus it boots up which is a plus.
Of course I’ve still lost my entire collection of MP3 music and radio show files, plus a lot of photos. I shall back up in future.
You will all be very excited to learn that I have managed to recover most of my music by salvaging them off my mp3 player. I’ve still lost all of my radio show collection though:(
I’ve been having all sorts of problems with the sidebar on the right. For some reason it kept sinking to the bottom of the page when viewed in internet explorer. I think I’ve solved the problem but have no idea how – I really don’t understand this css stuff. If it happens again/is still going on could you please let me know as it’s very rare that I use internet explorer so I’ll probably be ignorant of it. The only reason I noticed it this time was because we’re down at Kerry’s parents for the weekend so I’m using their computer.
