I had a bit of a panic this week with my computer. It was overheating so I decided to give the insides a good clean with the air hose. When I went to turn it back on my hard drive was missing from the bios. At first I thought it was a cable issue, well you would. Unfortunately after making sure all the cables were in place it still wasn’t recognized by my system. I really was starting to think I had lost a lot of my more recent poetry as I haven’t backed up in a few weeks. I know you should do it once a week but how many of us do? Not me for sure though I do every month or so as I have come close to losing everything before. Luckily I reseated the Sata cable into another plug and that seemed to restore my system back to full functioning order. I sigh in relief then copied all my latest work over to my memory stick.
I’m just hoping that this isn’t the first sign of trouble ahead. I am planning on upgrading my system or should I say doing a new build this year at some point. That is when I have saved enough for the parts. That won’t be for a few months yet and my son is already eyeing my system for himself when I do. Of course that means his sister get his. Remember when it was clothes that got handed down, hehehe. Calum though wasn’t too happy at the though of giving Tammy his computer though. That was until I threatened him with her getting mine. That worked.
To tell the truth though Tammy uses her mother laptop more than the old rusty thing she has at the moment. She is always complaining that it’s too slow for her. I wonder if she’ll use the same excuse when she gets Calum’s? Probably.
