Hi everybody, I hope you all had a nice bank holiday weekend.
An update on the PC – quite simply, it’s as stable as a pyschopath’s backside after a chicken vindaloo. Thanks to the wonderful people at PC Tech Forums, and running DOS programs almost all weekend (there’s something rather romantic with running DOS programs don’t you think?! Like it’s nostalgic and the times when PC’s were not all conquering. I even had to buy floppy disks for all sorts of memory checking programs. Such is the romance. Anyway, back from the tangent), I’ve managed to narrow it down to probably RAM failure. I will replace it sometime soon, but at the moment, I’m quite frankly skint. I will say this, if you have half decent intelligence, I do recommend their Free Computer Repair Help Forum (notice the keywords, these guys deserve my sticky google juice) should your PC be screwed beyond comparison.
In happier news Colwyn Bay won 6-0 at the weekend against Shepshed Dynamo. Whilst it could be argued that Shepshed deserved at least a goal, I am chuffed to bits. We’ve scored 10 in 2 games. Whoever says “The Bay are Shit, why don’t you support a proper team?!”, should be quiet. No disrespect to the Dynamo, but there are harder games to come, we may not dominate, but we’ve had a fantastic start to the season. Come on the Bay!
That was followed up with a barbecue, and a nice meal out in Llandudno on Sunday. What was rather nice was a conversation had with a girl in Llandudno Woolworths. Yes, a girl. We smiled, we joked, we had that awkward bit of sexual tension that usually means “Rhys, you’re just being perverted”. But in my mind at least, she liked me in that way. Plus she was gorgeous too.
The other thing I have enjoyed is that I’ve been away from the computer for large parts of the weekend (it’s been on, just I haven’t been watching it). I’ll be honest, it has been a struggle coming back to the PC and write a post. How do you guys mentally prepare for returning to the blog after a spot on the sidelines?!

I think you should maintain your stay of obsense from the computer… spend the time wisely… maybe shopping. Visit woolworths.. i think it can only lead to good things – and to coin your phrase, give madam palmer a well earned rest from ballroom waltzing
back to the days of sandwhich shop days and a like – huzzah for ye olde comedy blogging days
just my 2 pence worth…
<p>You didn’t mention the sure fire sign thats she lurrrves you and wants your baaaabies, that she touched her hair!</p>
<p>omg you actually have a floppy drive!!?</p>
<p>I have an external one LOL!</p>
Well, personally, I don’t find tht to be too much of a problem, since I love what I write about.
PC problems , rubbish, youve been in Woolworths all weekend….
Being in a similar blogging frame of mind to yourself right now, I procrastinate by reading other peoples blogs when I should be writing mine…..
I struggled, but then I thought ‘balls to it’ and posted a load of photos
DOS?! OMG that *is* romantic! /swoon! I miss the good ol’ DOS days, back when a floppy really could hold an entire system backup and all. It was good times, those early days.
My fave thing about computers then (well, about Windows 3.1) was running the disk defragmenter. I loved watching the little coloured boxes from [up here] get processed and moved to [down there]; it was like some sort of glimpse into the way my computer thought. Okay, maybe I romanticized my computer a little too much…
Just curious, are you going to do a write up of the steps you went through with your computer? Link to the programs or whatnot? Those posts always entertain me, and are good to know about should anything happen to someone’s computer (not mine, of course…)
6-0 man?!?! Geez, I wish ManU would get some goals like that!
DOS? Romantic? Nah! Now sparks flying over the check-out at Woolworths, that’s romance…
Returning to the blogging grindstone myself, after a brief break. Do what I do: waffle on regardless for about, oh I don’t know… 10+ paragraphs? Yeah, that ought to do it
It is hard to come back to writing after so much fun! It usually helps if I prepare about a week’s worth of posts prior to give me some time to readjust to sitting at a computer.
Heres your solution!
Use the Blogger platform, then you can only post in real time and you CAN NEVER LEAVE!!!!!
Problem solved. You’re welcome
