Winter blues  6

I don’t like cold weather. At all. Sure, it’s nice to look at: the clear skies, the frost on the glass, the children sliding to school … but that’s about it: it’s nice to look at!

My iMac is back to normal now - Tugger popped over and fitted my new internal hard drive. We had a bit of an “ARGH!” moment when we realised that the new one is about half an inch deeper than the old one was and, with the insides of the iMac being so tightly packed, were worried that it wouldn’t fit. As it turned out we needn’t have worried as it went in quite nicely. Now I have a 250GB internal containing the operating system and all my precious data - this is being mirrored by a 250B external. I also have a 500GB external for “disposable” data, i.e. CDs and DVDs that can be re-encoded incase of a crash. Everything’s reinstalled and I’m trying out a few new bits of software - more on that later.

I’m full of apathy at the moment - for the past couple of weeks (okay: maybe the past four) I haven’t been bothered to do anything I should be doing, including keeping this place updated. I’m part-way through several jobs for this site including tagging all the old entries properly and implementing some seasonal colour schemes.

Still, I’m sure it’s just a phase.

*fingers crossed*

Yep, about time too. Careful you don’t overstretch yourself crossing those fingers… ‘Feel the burn!’ - tugger

I noticed those season things the other day, Winter looks real nice, so, roll on it, etc Can’t wait to see the birthday one - Grix

And I do hope the apathy passes. I suspect it will, but it’ll just be slowly. One day at a time, as it were - Grix

At least your winter is nice to look at…..here all we’ve got is rain, grey skies, mud and blustery winds. I’ll swop you any day. Hope you’re feeling better. - charlesdawson

I’d managed to lose the window in safari where I had your blog so that’s the reason i’d kinda disappeared from posting on your blog the last month or so Good to hear it’s all working My backup system should work perfectly but i’m too disorganised to ever actually run the backup! Like the new colour scheme and look forward to it coming in! - stonysleep
