So the PC finally died horribly today, dammit. Badly enough that the only thing I could do was a complete reinstall - thank all the gods I had recovery discs.

It's working, I'm using it as I type, but now I have to go through the pain of restoring stuff like bookmarks, music, games etc. I've lost a lot of stuff again, because I still don't have external back ups in place but there we go. Thank all the gods, my pic of me with Idina is stored in about five places, so that's something :)

On the plus side, the PC's been a PoS since I got it and probably needed a re-install anyway. We'll see if it actually behaves any better now. I just know I'm going to spend the rest of the week remembering stuff I've lost and going "ARgh!". Really, really must make getting an external hard drive or other back up source a priority when I have spare pences :P

So, how was everyone else's Sunday?

Any idea how much Stuff you will want to back up? I'm sure we have a couple of spare internal hard drives that don't get used.

Although remembering where they are might be interesting :P

Although external drives are a lot cheaper than I thought they would be. http://www.ebuyer.com:80/product/128603

Hmm, not bad. Maybe when the finances straighten out :) I just need this version of the PC to last until Sept/Oct time *crosses fingers*

Mine's just getting started, really. I stirred up more trouble on a newspaper website (there was plenty when I got there). I've done a tiny bit of packing and some washing up, but not really put much of a dent in all I'm supposed to do. I did walk to the store, but it's warming up, and now I'll have to cool down before I can get much done.
