There was a lightning storm as I left work today. The sky just opened up and the roads were awash to the point it looked like we were driving in a river. Of course my worry was for my computer after the last time though I shouldn’t have as Magz was at home. The storm though continued for over an hour which I think is the longest I’ve ever seen it last. Usually it’s all over in less than half an hour.
Well tomorrow is the big day to wipe my drive to reinstall Windows. Hopefully that will then let my system get back to the way it was before. It would be good to get back to a stable, running system. Rather than the graphical glitches, sudden slowdowns and system freezes that I have suffer of late. I’ve even experienced these on start-up, which would suggest something isn’t right. As I have said in the past I don’t think it is hardware but rather problems caused by the way I fixed my problem the last time there was a lightning strike over the back door. Well I’ll find out if I’m right or if there is something worse that needs tracking down on the hardware side. That could be expensive and would probably be cheaper just going for a complete rebuild. Unfortunately it isn’t something that I could afford at the moment as the money I have saved so far has Christmas written on it.
Yes I’m already thinking of that time. Magz has wanted a PS3 for sometime so I’m getting her one. Mind not to tell her though. Anyway because of that I’ll not have the money to put to the computer for a bit. I’m hoping that the over time I did to day will give me some extra cash towards it. Of course I will have to get her something else as she’ll be playing the console as soon as I get it. Well how else would we know it was working, hehehe.
