This evening I thought I'd have a relaxed evening, get some stuff done, maybe have an early night, for a change. But so far all I've managed to do is have dinner and spend £500. And dinner required me to cook the chips twice because, due to more than one thing, managed to make one side of them completely black. And I mean completely.

And after, my computer decided that I didn't really need to see the screen any more... After spending some time in Safe Mode, we established the graphics card is going. At the moment I have lots of coloured lines on the screen and I am copying my files from that computer to my little laptop.

I have a new one on order now, which will have Vista, unfortunately. I still can't find anything in XP because they changed the file system from 98, so I'm just going to be even more lost. And the resolution isn't going to be as big as on my old one.

So now I get to play on the little laptop (so glad I have two, although I can also use my work laptop), see if I can get my friend to get my stuff off my hard drive. And see if I can get a long weekend off in a couple of weeks to go home and install everything. And get all the stuff off my last backup (which, as it wasn't the instant before the screen went, isn't recent enough).

So my computer might have been slow and full of junk that I've been meaning to delete for years, but I liked it.
