😛 Spoke too soon, something might be going a bit wonky in the circuitry, placed an enquiry at asrock for either confirmation or good news, either of which will cheer up this poor soul, if it comes back all of a froth and bubble with a nerdy computer joke. 😛

Mad feedback lifted from Teams:

Interesting ending directed to the farms, it could lead into a parody of Animal Farm with Rock Farm as an alternative title. Maybe there’s a lava thief, or a rival rock faction, or a coming cataclysm which will hurtle the poor rocks out in orbit of a dying sun.
Yarn to make the rocks yawn for.

Oh yes, ran chkdsk last month, and passed with flying colours! 🙂
Still, it’s probably a good idea to backup, like voting, early and often. 😛

You know, this PC is itself a relic. Turned it on and got a Disk Read Error, Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot, which didn’t work. Then tried later, and it’s as if nothing happened.
So, for the Seagate drive, downloaded the legacy SeaTools, because, you know, everything here is kind of legacy now. But there you go, the program wouldn’t initialise because it…[Read more]

Yes, from Virgin (Prince of Persia, Earthworm Jim, Resident Evil, Flight Unlimited)!

Cheap set looks spiffing enough, looks like you are starting a collection, how about a dice bath bomb?
The ozemail email address is finally downstream, took ages to change it in…[Read more]

Not quite a relic yet, the UPS purchased for the downstairs PC is getting on in years, and doing rather well. As for the place it came from, not so. Turns out they went belly up the very year the unit was purchased, and all of 5 years to find out. 😛

Ah yes, thanks, do have an account with the old SysInternals, but what happened to the old forums?

Zelda is getting better all the time it seems. Over here the ABC State Channel runs a weekly game review show mainly for kiddies, but adult kiddies like yours truly get a buzz out of it as well. This is their review of it – not region blocked over there at all?

Honestly, it’s looking more and more like…[Read more]

How odd, if it does happen again, troubleshoot the server-side cache by shooting a PM over here so the site cache can be cleared. Else it could be something awry with the client-side caching, an area which isn’t currently under focus (yet).
