in a panic
Sunday, October 16, 2005
Ok, my puter is undergoing a MAJOR overhaul as I write this on Mr. S's laptop. All digiscrapping is put on hold until the overhaul is finished. You know those telly shows you watch where the loved one is inside the ER, going through a major surgery, and the family is outside, nervously pacing the floor? Well, that is my life now.
For several days now, my puter has been acting strange. Not sure exactly what happened and what's going on, but it has been bothering me lately. On a number of occasions, it just suddenly hangs on me and I have to reset the puter. Sometimes, it just fails to boot and it gives me some error response. You won't believe the panic I felt!!! So after that happened, I immediately backed up my digiscrapping files. It was just then that I realized how much digiscrapping stuff I had accumulated. LOL! Well, I think my puter may have suffered a breakdown of some sort today, and so it's on an indefinite bed rest. CRAP!!!
Ok, so Mr. S is in there now, reformatting my puter. One diagnosis is that my lan card is busted, so I'll have to buy a new one tomorrow. I'm now seriously considering upgrading my motherboard, processor and memory. That's gonna cost me quite a bit though, so I'll have to sleep on that first. In the meantime, please pray for the safe recovery of my puter.
But hey, I do have some good news. Mr. S finally bought me my new scanner! Woohooooo!!! I don't know the exact model, but I'm sure that it can scan at a minimum of 1200dpi and it has 48-colour something and it's capable of OCR. LOL!!! As you can clearly see, I'm just the user. I learned those minimum requirements from
Tania, so I just passed them off to Mr. S for purchasing. I got the scanner yesterday, and I've been scanning stuff left and right. LOL! But just when I'm in the mood to create layouts with my old photos, my puter goes berserk. Sigh. Life isn't fair. I have done several layouts the past few days, but haven't had time to upload them on my webshots album nor here. I promise to do that as soon as my puter has recovered.
Can you believe the weekend is over already??? It just goes by soooo fast! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
