My goodness! Almost a month into the new year and I have not posted any entry on my lovely blog!! There is a reason (or two, or more) for that.
Crazy beginning to the year, as far as work is concerned for yours truly. Wish it was not that way but.. oh well.
Also, the minimal entry (or none of it) was due to the fact that I have been having some trouble with the computer at home. Being the procrastinator that I am, it took me a while to get the computer sorted out.
It all began when my iPod of 3 years went dead on me last October and one thing led to another, it went downhill from there.
Sequence of Events
Oct 2007 : Bought a new Creative ZEN MP3 player for my run. It was small and light. Perfect companion for running.
Oct 2007 : My iPod of 3 years went dead on me. Devastated. Daily entertainment was now in the hands of the Creative ZEN.
Nov 2007 : Research and contemplation of buying of new iPod began. Mentioned to Moh about my being in the market for new Ipod and he told me about a good deal he heard of. I took it because it was approximately 40% off retail price.
Dec 2007 : I am now an owner of iPod. 80GB ( a monster compared to the measly 15GB I had on the previous iPod). However, new Ipod only runs on Windows XP or Vista. Yours truly is running Windows 2000 Professional. Bugger! Around the same time, video card on my computer went berserk. The iPod and computer were left untouched since then.
Jan 2008 : A month without PC and iPod. Was getting tired of listening to same songs on Creative since all my MP3s are in the hard disk of my dead computer. Made a point to get it sorted. Went to buy a 320GB hard disk & Windows XP and I was raring to go.
28 Jan 2008 : Faced complications when trying to install new hardware and operating system in the last couple of weekends. One issue came after another. It is just not worth the time and money to figure out what it is wrong with it because the issues all boil down to compatibility. Much easier to just buy a new machine, what with this one is already 5 years – totally outdated.
Now : Contemplation of Yours Truly on buying a new PC. No Thanks to iPod – the root cause of all my technological issues.
Lesson Learnt : Stay relevant, dated.
My geeky friends will be laughing their toes off if they hear about the specifications of my computer. So, I am going to save the humiliation and not mention anything at all.
