PC’s, BBQ’s and Disarray
My PC has buggered up! After trying to sort a problem for a guy up the road and the fact Chain has had nothing but problems with his PC, I thought this might be a warning to me to back up mine…Too late, Saturday night (5th) mine followed suit with a strange message on log in telling me that it couldn’t start up using my original profile settings and started up with a temporary profile instead, all my original settings gone! Well gonna take the PC round to Chain tomorrow (Wed) and he’ll probably stand behind me laughing at me attempting to follow his instructions on how to get my settings back. There is a file in my docs and settings folder called ntuser.dat that is corrupt, don’t know whether that is the root of the problem but tried replacing it anyhow and when I rebooted, the error message had gone, and as I was rubbing my palms with glee, windows created yet another profile “craig.craig-AMD64”, the final part being the computer name… Hmmm? So given up, managed to enter all my email setttings to retrieve any emails, though these I’m sure will dissapear next time I reboot.
Sod all else to moan about, my Saturday night annual bbq was a bit of a disaster, very few turned up, though I left it late with the invites as was feeling shite all week, one of my nephews’ decided to boff all over the hall/toilet floor…nice! And not much food was eaten. My two Daughters’ whined all night about how irritating they found each other, and of course the PC I’d set up for the music was happily re-setting all night. Next year I think I’ll buy a PS2 with Guitar Hero/Singstar as I reckon it would go down like a bomb!
For me, still very little in the way of work, applying for a position in Hastings that looks promising, still haven’t had word from the Lewes based company about the position of Production Engineer, a job I would find quite challenging and am quite anticipated about.
Right that’s my Whinging over with for a few days or so! Hopefully my next entry will be a more positive one. Till then.
