Getting there, like British Rail....../irony

I had to resort to another complete reformat and re-install of my PC. No, I still haven't got an external disk drive upon which I have made careful back ups. On the plus side, apart from my email, I didn't have much to lose since it hasn't been that long since I last did this :p And thanks to my shiny, shiny iPod, all my music is safe! Hee!

I've reached the point now where I've got the basics installed and working, and I'm now working on the supplementary items, like games and utilities. If you've sent me an email with any important info prior to today(Hi smokingboot!) could you please resend it? Thanks :)

At least I can get to my beloved internet, which I couldn't do before the reformat - the virus did something very evil to the modem executable files, from what I could tell. Bah. *cuddles her internet*

Tomorrow there will be memes and cute cat photos to make up for the boring techie spam :)

One item though - today I received the most ginormous box of books from jenni411, who clearly spent her time at Bouchercon wisely :D Seriously, it was a fantastic collection and a lot of effort went into it. There's an anthology in there, "Wolfsbane and Mistletoe", which I've had my eye on, and Jenni went to the trouble of nabbing the autographs of as many authors who were there as possible! Hee! I've got Alan Gordon's autograph! Heeee!!

So huge huggles to Jenni, for verily, she rocks :D

My only contribution would be that if you keep having this problem, you'll need to check the integrity of your hard disk. I had this prob a couple of years ago and it turned out that either my drive had a bad sector or a root kit had damaged a sector and I had to get a new hard drive because every time the computer started writing files to that sector, it would get unstable. Fingers crossed for you.

Verily, I do, don't I? *G*
