Win2K Troubles

Hmmm. For an assortment of reasons, I decided to upgrade Pinga (the PC in the kitchen used by the girls and visitors) to Windows 2000. Unfortunately, it didn’t go very well. It will only boot in safe mode, but I haven’t got a clue what is making it hang in normal mode.
It’s an old machine with some old/odd peripherals. Strangely, I’m pretty sure I’ve had all the peripherals working on my machine (which has Windows 2000) at some time; scanner, card reader, wireless pen pad, etc.
Luckily, I didn’t overwrite the Windows ME which was on there. So they still have a working machine until I can sort it out.

New Colour Scheme

Well, the new colour scheme is up. What do you think? I like these colours. They’re not really original (can any colour scheme be original), I’ve basically looked around a lot and nicked them. 😉

I’m still looking for a clean, css driven, preferably table-less, standards compliant layout. I’ve seen lots of nice layouts, but most of them seem to use tables, and I can’t really decide on one.

Computer Screens in Films

For all you geeks out there; you know how you get a tiny little thrill whenever there’s a computer shot in a movie (what do you mean that’s only me?); and then you get really disappointed when its completely unrealistic, you know text mode 40 x 25, but with a graphical button the hero has to click forcefully on.

Well anyway, I digress, I found this great computers in movies quiz over at Film Wise.

How well will you do? I got six, but there are three films I haven’t seen.

Link courtesey of MetaFilter

Update: I’ve changed the link to be the questions rather than the answers. *blushes*

Lost Broadband

Damn, I lost my broadband connection last night! 🙁

So the next couple of entries will be pre-dated. That is I’ll post them with the aproximate times I thought of them.

It came back on sometime in the early hours of the morning. 🙂
