I Hate Computers!

Which is a bit silly really as they’re my job!

Last week I had a hard drive failure on my main machine at work. For various reasons this took me nearly two days to fix. Then the new Mac notebook we’ve recently had keeps turning itself off for no reason and now I’ve just installed the security software on my nice new spangly laptop and that’s killed it totally!

GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Broadband

Grrrrrrr!

Since July my internet connection has been playing up. This was after a supposed speed upgrade. I placed a call to my suppliers and it still isn't fixed! Even worse their LLU supplier has now killed off my connection completely. If they went any slower fix it, they'd be going backwards!

Oooo shiny

One of the teachers at work came to me just before the end of term saying that they needed a Mac notebook! So I priced one up and the head authorised it on the last afternoon of term. This meant some frantic setting up of accounts with Apple and writing of order forms! So it was put through and I heard nothing more until last week when I was in the office and I saw the order form which said not to be delivered until 6/9/06! Which is why it turned up on Friday! So I've been playing with it and I want it! It's too good for a teacher.

Firefox

I've been playing with some extensions that can be added to Firefox. Makes you wonder why you ever used IE! Can't same I'm too sure about IE7 at the moment, so I think I'll stick to Firefox (Opera is good as well!).
The extensions do make life easier at work!
