I Hate Change...Most of the Time


Last week my computer died. It would crash randomly and then every time I had to restart or turn it off it would blue screen. So, Friday for the first time in seven years I got a new computer in the mail!

It's so shiny! It also came with Office 2007 and Windows 7. I'm not entirely pleased with this. While I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually, right now it's driving me crazy! Nothing works the way I think it should and I have to relearn everything again. I am, however, tickled pink by how fast it is! My last computer was made of three 5+ year old computers and had barely enough ram to load Facebook. This one makes the net fly!

In writing news, I know in one of the last posts I said I was going to start working on my synopsis, but do to computer explosions, hurricanes, and being sick all this weekend, I still haven't started yet. But today is the day!

My plan for today includes writing up my review for Sam Sykes's Tome of the Undergates (which was a lot of fun to read) and writing my synopsis. Two things, that's it. I think I can handle that.

Happy Writing!

Hmmm...


Everything was going too well, I should have know better. I almost had a mini heart attack over the weekend, when my computer crashed and wouldn't come back to life! Luckily it was my motherboard and NOT my hard-drive with all my writing on it that died. Also luckily, my husband and I were able to craft me a working computer out of three dead ones and now I am back in business! Well, except for loading everything from my old computer and reinstalling all my programs and fixing all my settings. But that shouldn't take longer then an eternity to do.

The experience did get me to realize I need to back up my work onto our external hard-drive more often. And thankfully it was a lesson that I didn't need to learn the hard way. Alright, back to installing.

Have a great day! :)
