I’ve been putting aside some money so that I might invest in a more secure means of data storage, aside from DVDs, CDs, and thumbdrives. Specifically I’ve been looking at external hard drives as they seem like a good route to go when backing up data. Having my laptop crash on me and loosing a [...]

At some point on Tuesday my computer went haywire on me. It worked fine, if a bit slow, and I shut it down for a while. That evening when I came back I found the infamous Blue Screen of Death waiting for me. My computer crashed. I hadn’t had a chance to back up a [...]

Here lately, it would seem that every time I take one step forward I get knocked back two steps. Money has been a bit tight, but hey, I got the car fixed now. I can really get cracking once again so what can possibly go wrong? I forgot, if you ask the world to throw [...]

The desktop was having a lot of problems here lately, mostly difficulty in shutting down and randomly shutting down on it’s own. I complained about this to my mother and she decided to take it apart and clean it. I am so glad she knows how to take apart a computer and clean it! Just [...]

When I first bought my laptop I vowed that only the necessities would be put on it. This meant no music, and I would keep my anime files to the bare minimum by immediately burning files to disc. Oh, and I would not, under any circumstances have a ton of music on the computer either. [...]

I’m really beginning to wonder what happened. I used to, sometimes, change the desktop of my computer every some odd amount of months. But really, once I found a desktop I liked you could expect it to stay there for a good long time. In a sense, that’s still true. The home computer’s desktop rarely [...]
