Grrr
So, I’d not realised quite how much stuff the iPAQ had forgotten – I suppose I should have guessed what with having to go through the setup routine again – but all the shite windows software is back – and obviously the stuff I’d installed – it’s all gone….
Ah well all the more reason to put Linux on here….
So I’m still temping – and I’m still bored….however by the rather low standards I’ve got this morning has been moderately interesting. Before I get into that I thought I’d link to this (I’ll be impressed if I’ve managed to enter that correctly) – yes, anyway, I’ve been reading the BBCs news site for years and never before noticed that section!
Still it amused me.
I presume everyone’s noticed what’s happened in France. That’s scary….at least I find that scary.
It’s actually one of the few occasions I’ve really felt an urge to watch what’s happening in the news. Normally it’s something I do to fill time when I’m bored.
So, back to my morning. First thing was my bike eating it’s spark plug. Now this isn’t particulary uncommon – but it’s normally preceded by a short but noticable period of not-running-very-well; but this time, just to challenge me a bit it just stopped running as I was filtering down the middle of two lines of cars – just as prick-in-vectra decided he was going to ensure I couldn’t pull in in front of him. Luckily for me I was still moving fast enough to slot in sideways in front of him and get to the kerb. Mind you if he had hit me then it’d’ve been his car that was buggered.
Still having worked out what the problem was it didn’t take long to get going again.
Mind you, no-one stopped……
Oooh, oooh, apparently if Microsoft have the proposed measures imposed on them it might mean they couldn’t o withdraw a version of Windows if a major security flaw was found. He (Gates) also said they might have to stop selling Windows….I can imagine nothing better :-)
So this morning I was complemented on my dress sense by one of the other women here – which hasn’t ever happened before! Anyway – that put a smile on my face.
Is it sad that while having a looksie for ISS stuff I ran across this and thought “oooh, cool”? Probably…
I think I’ve run out of stuff to say now….
