Turbo and the Computer

Jer took the day off of work today and since he is home he set up his old computer for the kids.
This is the first time Turbo has ever had an opportunity to use a computer.

I'm Baaaaack.....

and the wallets is going is critical for a bit. But HEY at least my computer now works and I didn't loose anything cause I backed it all up before I took the thing in! Yay me!

Turns out my hard drive was dieing. Replacement = $79, Labor = $5 Billion, and reloading the OS? That would be $5 Trillion..... yes, with a capital. Darned the machine not coming with the Vista CD's! Darn Darn Darn. Could have done that part between Jer and I.

Oh well, I now have a well functioning machine that is cleaner than it has EVER been. No kidding. I have five icons on my desktop. FIVE. I don't even have the kajillion "buy me" icons that the thing came with! Yippy!!! So actually I'm kinda glad the thing was wiped clean, cause now I have all this RAM to use up again! lol

Ok, now I'm going to start loading all of my backed up stuff to mar my beautifully clear desktop, cause hey, I do need to do finances again at some point, ugh.

Funfun

Taking the Computer to the Doctor.

I shall be doing this tomorrow.

Fore every time I start up the darned thing it is now has to do a complete scan of files for "consistency" ... whatever the crap that means in computerese....

Anyhow, taking it in to see what it's going to take to get it fixed... that and maybe they can turn my cookies back on, cause I can't view Facebook due to turning it of in some random and roundabout way and then promptly forgetting how I did it.

Hopefully this will not be painful.

I love computers...

I love them till they start to have issues that is. Then I hate them.

No, really, because as soon as they start having issues I start dreading the day that I'm going to have to replace something.

I think my hard drive is starting to have a slow and painful death.

The End.... hopefully just for now. I think I can squeeze a few more uses out of this thing.

:P

Scanning, Scanning, and .... what the...

Ok, so today I finally decided that I need to scan all of my old school film pictures onto my computer then after that onto an actual CD for safe storage. I have boxes of these pictures...
Ew. Anyhow, I finally decided it was time, since I'm trying to avoid other huge projects right now. You know, like de-boxing the garage so that we might actually fit a vehicle in there. I mean WHERE DID WE GET ALL THIS CRAP? Anyhow, as a way of procrastinating I decided to take care of the old pictures... starting with the ones from the 9th grade. Ugh.

I know I am a bit behind, but honestly we have never owned a scanner till recently. My parents took pity on me a few months ago, right before their trip to AZ and gave me there old one... Actually, I think that may have been more for my dad's benefit than mine. Kinda hard to scan things in from the mail and send them to AZ when you don't own a scanner, eh? :)

Anyhow, today I've been scanning photos, while going through last years filing.....

Wait. WAIT! DON'T JUDGE ME!!! I AM NOT A PRODUCTIVE PERSON. :P On the rare occasion that I do get an inkling to do stuff, gosh darnit I'd better do it! Cause it ain't happenin' again for another millennia honey.

Ok, back to train of thought....

As I'm going about minding my own beeswax, and the kids are arguing with each other in the background about who said what wrong.... I hear this noise coming from the scanner.

BWMWAWAWmmmmmmmwwwwwww ah ah ah ah

Holy mackerel is that thing going to EAT my pictures?

Nope turns out it's only a noise, no harm done to the pictures. Even the ones on the computer turned out good.

So other than that noise all is good.

Though Jer does insist that it sounds like computer constipation. niiiiiice honey.....
