Tech Argh

[lightofdaye]

It has not been a good day for tech. I switched off my laptop about 2300 yesterday and it wanted to install 22 updates. By midnight it was still going at 8 of 22 so i moved it out my bedroom so the light wouldn't stop me sleeping.

at 14:10 today I get a worried email from my mum saying its still trying to install that one update. It was okay by the time I got hom but that still 14-15 hours at least microsoft. Then when i switched it back on it demanded to be restarted to finalised the bloody update.

can i tell a damned thing that's different about its performance now? I cannot.

Equally annoying: Yahoo mail has decide it doesn't want to show a conversation i was having with fest mods in my inbox at all, And remove it from outlook as well. I can still find the messages through search. But still, not on yahoo.

oh i know the code well enough to my actual job i think. but they're keen on us knowing lots of fancy flourishes as far as i can tell. they did give us examples though. so i'll look closely at that.

Thanks very much for the luck.

And terribly rude of me, i should be asking how are you doing at the moment as well?

You don't have to worry about being rude. I'm trapped in a stasis state at the moment. I will be doing some more video production on the side but mostly it's the phone-ringing hell.

aagh. i filled in at a call centre once for a couple of hours and that was enough.

good luck with the video production though, that sounds aces!
