Online

Finally, after much option looking, bartering, and money spending I am back online on my own laptop. My trusty old Tiny workhorse has been put to sleep following a ATI card failure (which would have been to costly to bother repairing) and I have my replacement Dell Inspiron. It's not a new machine, but it's a worthy replacement for my old slugger. I've also managed to salvage my old harddrive which now sits nicely in a 2.5" data storage caddy and is acting as an external hard disk.

Now begins the time consuming task of setting up the new machine. Bleugh.

Shortly you should see me back on my old IM clients so drop us a line will you.

**post script: circa 00:20. Ugh. Still awake. I've forgotten the last time I was allowed an entire evening just to veg out. Usually it's work. Tonight it's this fucking install. I've also just realized that the Dell has a larger return key compared to my Tiny... and every single key on the board is therefore precisely one key away from where it should be.
