Oh bugger!

Well, when I went laptop shopping last spring, I expressed my regret and doubt that I would ever find anything as reliable as my clunky old Sony Vaio which served me faithfully for donkeys years and which never once let me down.

So, apparently, I was right to doubt because the stupid sodding piece of junk I replaced it with, crashed irreversibly at the weekend and now has to be wiped and fitted with a new hard drive to be repaired. Of course, I haven't done a back up for six months because that would be far too sensible!!

*Sigh*

I've only had this new laptop for 10 months so at least it's in warranty, so that's handy at least...

But anyway, it's not all bad. On the subject of 'junk', this little poseur is flashing his around (such as it is). He joined me yesterday, but I don't think Sam's impressed!





He'll make his debut at [livejournal.com profile] spn_on_parade shortly, just as soon as I've got my laptop back (that ego needs a big screen to do it justice!!)

Anyway, I hope you're all having a great week - much love from Dizzoland xx

... but I am now the proud, if somewhat demented and exasperated owner of last night's episode!

Buggeration!
What the heck is going on with the SPN download today?  I might just die of old age before I get to see this epi ...

Has anyone else been having problems with Lj cuts?

I haven't been able to get one to work for ages now ... I've fiddled and faffed and farted about but to no avail; I even pinched my hubby's laptop and tried to do a posting to my journal on there but the cut still didn't work, so it doesn't seem to be my computer that's playing silly buggers.

As the dog with no legs once said; I'm stumped ...

Any ideas out there in Lj-land? Because there sure as hell aren't any in Dizzo-land!

26th July:

Okay, there I was, really looking forward to checking out the Supernatural Anime series.

So off I go, merrily surfing Amazon, and there it is; a blu ray disc, my cartoon boys on the front looking all brooding and gorgeous and mysterious.

On my dear husband's advice, I decided to check out the technical spec (like it actually means anything to me) only to discover that I could take my disc and watch it in the good old USA, in the remote and windswept Galapagos Islands, in the ice fields of  Siberia, the hustle and bustle of China and the wilds of Outer-friggin'-Mongolia. I could probably play the sodding thing on the Moon!

But not in my home in suburban England.

Why?

Because some super intelligent high IQ techie-minded PILLOCK has decided to invent a disc that will play anywhere in the world except Europe and Africa.

Did I ever mention I hate technology?
