The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Much as I'm getting the new machine together, I'm still having teething problems, like Microsoft just sussed out it's hookey .. and so I rang the fella from Aintree and recognized the software that's been installed, to change the serial: and as I did it, under uinstruction, I suddenly recalled I have a legit corporate I could've changed it to..

am installing the software to the new PC



after.. I put in a 'new' CD writer.



an everytime I think I have finished, I find something else I need to do the thing's I want to on it.. all of this entails wearing the reading glasses.

Yes. I still need to install mine, because it is rather a deer to headlights.

Well okay.. I got the PC and, it runs XP…

… the burner burns at 8 times, mosttimes, 4 times sometimes, but I can live with that.

[just discovering what it can and, can't to..]

Isn't it funny how excited we become over a piece of electronic equipment. We spend so much time learning and discovering it's workings.



I have a MacBook now and as much as I love it, I doubt I will ever unravel its mysteries. For it is far too foreign to what I am used to.

Needless to say, no sooner do I phone up the fellow to acquire a PC to suit my need, that the local free paper, advertises a machine more local to that which I’ve decided to purchase. I’m moderately infuriated by this, simply because the local free paper used to be distributed on a Wednesday; and I made my call on the Wednesday evening.



Furthermore, the second one I read of cost £30 less than the first; yet the good thing about my arrangement is that I spoke to the fellow properly, learning that the fellow actually knows his stuff. And, though that might also be said about the fellow in the second advertisement, I do have to look at the bright side of this don’t I??



Well, it’s either that, or get even more infuriated than I became when we got our local free-paper this Thursday morning.

The dell is going slowly & the tower that Karl had a look at is so ill I’m surprised the monitor can cope with it. As it is, I’ve been going through the event log, to see when errors occurred, so I can do screen dumps, so that he can see in a word document, just how ill it is. And, it’s all-so-frustrating!

The tower went down; and then it's replacement dies within hours of installation. So it's back to The Baby Dell.



So, I installed FireFox, five point something.



And, you know what?? It works well.



Just a point of observation, if you have a lower end spec machine, running XP, try Firefox.



You might find that like me, you think it's a good idea.

Such was the respect held for the common Tommy [ordinary Joe] during the First World War that two minutes to eleven, when The Armistice was to be signed, men were ‘sent over the top’, to die in their hundreds, when ‘they’ [the general’s] had known up to eight hours prior that The Armistice were to be signed.



The Great War was supposed to be The War To End All War’s, yet there have been at least seventy since.

[Another panicky email sent]



Karl, am still loading software, an I've realised, I have no sound!!!



[please look out for a sound card, (besides a network card) as if I haven't got one in the loft, I'll be without sound!]



This is ridiculous y'know fella, I woke up dreading working on this, this morning. Now I've an idea why.. though it's doing as intended, thus far.. so far that no internet connection and now, no sound!



Glad you gave me the advice over email btw, I was a tad stressed yesterday.. I so wanted this working, like today.. and, it's just not possible, I know.. that said, I'll get on with loading office.

[An email I sent.]







I have it together Karl. Windows is onboard, but it won't see the IP

[I think]

I am trying to decide what to do, whilst still using the dell, which is even having trouble keeping up with the speed I am typing, I am that fraught.

I have done all I can understand, as yet. There's something missing.. says he hoping that you'll make your visit to this machine soon, like pehaps on a day like when you're not working, like this sunday [like erm, after Doctor Who] and, two days before my 50th Birthday!?! {Blech!!!}



[Just hoping it actually doesn't need a network card.. but the, what did i plug it into.. ah forget me, I'm typing as I think: and I'm panicking.
