Did time stand still today or something? I know yesterday was Tuesday and I know what my computer is telling me, it’s telling me that it’s Wednesday but I swear today just stopped all of a sudden. All signs point to it–really, they do.
Only 5 email messages all day, 4 were spam (spam stops for no one, not even God), one was a hosting account renewal notice (guess this site will be around for another 2 years then (sigh).
No snail mail. None, at all. Not even a flyer for the local market. Unheard of.
Google News was showing yesterday’s news. The “Elections” section was changing every 3 seconds but that hardly means anything. Politics is akin to spam.
No traffic on our road. Okay, we don’t have much to begin with but it was even less today.
The fishing access across the road was deserted. The fishing access across the road is never deserted. But it was today.
Maybe it was just my imagination but it’s very possible the most of the day just didn’t happen at all. In fact, I’m pretty sure of it now. t all began around 10:00 this morning. First it was 10:00 AM and then it was now–10:29 PM. Like there was nothing in between. Just 10:00 in the morning and then 10:29 at night. This is getting pretty scary, you know? What’s happening to my world?
Wait a minute. Maybe my brain stopped working instead? Hey, yeah–that’s it! The day went by in a perfectly normal manner, it was my brain that stopped functioning just like Windows® when it freezes up. Unless someone comes along and reboots it, it just stays that way. So, something must have kicked my brain back into gear around 10:29 PM. But I really haven’t a clue as to what it was. And here I was all worried that time had gone silly buggers. Come to think of it, the old head has been acting pretty strange lately, lot’s of glitches and such.
Maybe I can reload it with Linux? I hear it’s really stable.
And that would be quite an improvement.
Don’t even get me going on windows! Speaking of freezing…again this morning. This computer or Vista is a piece of crap! Next one will be a Mac.
Elaine – It’s Vista most likely. The OS is one of MS’s worst efforts to date. Windows 7, however, is excellent. and is well worth the consideration. I don’t think you’d be very happy with a Mac knowing some of the programs you run. No Paint Shop Pro, no Windows Live Writer, no Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail (mail client for Windows 7) etc, etc. Macs are beautiful machines but the OS is lacking, especially someone coming from a Windows environment. I’d seriously consider having someone who knows what they’re doing backup all your data and then do a (clean) Windows 7 install for you. Just my opinion of course.
