Well, this is one of them few times when I write a post without actually having anything in particular to say. For those of you who don’t know, it was my Birthday on Sunday. Wasn’t all that great tbh. I turned 24 and spent most of the day feeling pretty ill. Ah well, such is life, eh?
Also, I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned before, but my PC (the Powerhouse one I have the specs of on my Geeks profile) has the annoying habit of locking up randomly for no apparent reason. I’ve spent nearly a year and a half (almost the entire time I've had it) attempting to sort it out with the store I purchased it from, but have got no further today than I was in the first place. The store’s head office ended up going bust or something, meaning they lost many of their connections, including their supplier. I’ve recently found out this means that the store can’t send my motherboard (the prime suspect in my PC freezing issue) back to Asus as they would have to go through the supplier which they no longer have connections to. That point’s kinda irrelevant anyway considering we got nowhere after the board was sent through the supplier before, so we were intending on sending it direct to Asus. Apparently this all means that I have to email Asus myself with the board’s serial number and then post it to them. The only issue I have with this is while I was rebuilding it myself when I FINALLY got the board back the first time, I accidentally snapped one of the clips on one of the RAM sockets. I wouldn’t be majorly surprised if this resulted in them saying “we can’t do anything for you because the board is damaged” which would mean I’d have completely wasted my time. I HAVE, however, got my old PC (a little Dell Optiplex which I modded to have 1gb of Ram plus a DVD writer) back from my girl’s mother after selling it to her a while back, so I wouldn’t be entirely without a PC if i were to send this one off. Which I MAY do eventually, when I feel up to it.
In other news, it’s March now, and O2 are supposed to be launching a home phone service this month, meaning I could save money with a package deal and leave TalkTalk behind for good. Can’t remember the exact date, but I certainly know I can’t wait (though have to top up my mobile at some point VERY soon to maintain my Broadband discount, otherwise home phone with them will be the last thing on my mind when I get disconnected cause I can’t afford the bill).
That’s all I can think of for the time being, but that should be plenty for you to sink your eyes into until I can be bothered to write another post. Thanks for actually taking the time to read my rants. I don’t know how you manage it, I even bore myself sometimes.
