A PC morning
I’ve been in the habit of writing a blog post the day before it gets automatically posted, so I don’t have to stumble through writing one first thing in the morning, as I am doing today. The reason for that is I spent most of yesterday morning setting up a new laptop and having only had about three hours sleep due to the heat, it became something of a trial. Because it was bought in Greece (online order from Kotsovolos last Friday, arrived here on Wednesday), the prologue was, naturally, in Greek. By the prologue I mean the ‘welcome, we need to set up a few things…’ That wasn’t so much of a problem, but the OS language was also Greek, and when you want to change that to English but everything on your screen needs translating, it can take time. Still, I managed it, linked it to my OneDrive and other shared programmes, added and synced, downloaded and moved across, and all that and thought I’d better restart it to make sure it was all set…
Sorry about that rude interruption from a photograph. Where was I? Oh yes, a restart to make sure everything was working. On restarting, I saw that, somehow, I had made not one, not two, but three user profiles, one for Neil and two for me. How, I do not know because I hadn’t, but there you are. It must have been something to do with the links to Microsoft as we share the Office 365 thing. So, I clicked on Neil’s profile as it’s his machine and guess what? I had to start the whole thing over from scratch. I don’t know why, and it doesn’t matter. It was easier the second time around, and I was able to delete both my profiles, but no work got done, no writing, no blog, which is why I’m banging this out this morning. I just hope when we turn on the new machine, it does what it’s supposed to do.
