Unplanned News

Last night, I got mad. At my "mini pc", the 10,1 inch laptop I've been using for writing my filth, love birds and stories on... as well as watch QI during my lunch at work.

I was going to install the latest updates to it, but before I even started that, it showed clear signs of going in to retirement. It took around 30 seconds to just open a right click menu on the damn desktop.

When I finally was able to open the window where I could tell the computer to search for updates, while connected to the internet, trough a cable I might add, not a wifi, it either froze, or were mean. Cause after watching that damn thing look for a total of 4 updates for 30-35 minutes, I got sick of it, and stopped the process and turned of the computer.

New one is... the bigger one!

I started the damn thing up again, and retried. It found the updates, all 4 important ones, and knowing it would take a long time, I turned off the energy saving thing, had it plugged in so it wouldn't drain the battery, and went to bed... and hour or so later then I had planned.

When I got up, it had fucked up and only downloaded 1 update, requested of me to reboot the little shit, and then took another 1½ hours to install it.

That's when I knew, I needed a better one.

One that did not have only 2GB of ram for a Windows 8 64bit OS.

So I bought a new one, today. Still low speccs on it, but I am not planing on playing Skyrim on it. Just writing stuff and watching the odd show or porn :P

This one has Windows 8.1 OS and 4GB of ram, with a possibility of increasing the ram if I feel the need to, with more HD space, 500GB instead of the little ones 350.

Now all these numbers might mean nothing to you, but for a slight nerd, it means everything.

Le Bag á la Black and Red

I also bought a bag for it, and it fits very snugly in it, and I even had room for the cords and my E-book reader.

And while I was at “Clas Ohlson” to buy the laptop shoulder bag, I got a new light for my bike... the old one was far better, but this one will have to do for a bit.

Was at a “Kick Off” meeting at work today, learned the new system for how we managed our schedule and the time reports, but I only half listened (I understood how it all worked quickly, others didn't), so I wrote down a small scenario I got in my head on the notepads we had been given. 2 and a half page of handwritten shit.

I'm gonna clean it up and fill some blanks during the weekend, then I'll post it all here on Sunday for the “Hobby Sunday Edition”.
