Right now, there isn’t much on the machine, but he has a lot of trouble accessing sites and downloading pages that he needs.
If I’m not going to kill the machine, I’ll go ahead and try the restore CD first. If that fails, I’ll do the full reload. I think all his stuff is on servers, anyway.
i like cheese.
is there cheese in the future?
i’ve never seen dr. who eat cheese, so i’m concerned.
please disregard if you are posting from the distant past.
...and ignore anything i mentioned about cheese. nasty stuff. it will spoil the timeline. you don’t want to know more about it.
Hi, all!
We’re in lockdown at the moment. The SWAT team and a group of Seattle’s finest just took down a bank robber right outside my office window.
Good thing I have an emergency stash of peanut butter and jelly! I can’t go out and get a sub like I planned until they clean up all the carnage.
Reminds me of when I lived in Inglewierd. Cops and robbers running right through our front yard.
No thanks. I’ll stay here, in the boonies.
Hiya, Sandy! Been on any rides lately?
The cheese is powdered.
The ZOT! is complete.
We have taken over the troll thread and made it our own.
You’re most welcome to join us on the Undead Thread!
Yes, we just did a charity ride for Children’s Hospital this past Sunday. The whole weekend raised nearly $700K for the hospital. Good deal! I have almost 500 miles on my new Harley now. I would have liked to ride more this weekend, but it was in the 90s and miserable.
No sympathy from you desert rats, I know.
Bank robbers and car chases are bit unusual in downtown Seattle. I’m pretty sure the guy they cornered is dead, because the medical people weren’t in any kind of hurry once they dragged his sorry butt out of the car (after blowing out his windows with two volleys from I don’t know how many guns.)
Unlike LA, they didn’t stay in the “standoff” mode for more than ten minutes after they cornered him. They peppered his car with gunfire, counted slowly to 500, then approached the car and dragged him out. He was blocking the bus lanes, you see. Can’t have that.
Wow, what excitement! I’m surrounded by sleeping pets, here.
It did cause a flurry of excitement for awhile. We’re accustomed to the sound of sirens, so we didn’t pay much attention to that, but the sound of gunfire is definitely reason to stop work.
Of course, it was lunch time and everyone was scattered, so it took a few minutes to “call the roll” and make sure eveyone was accounted for. Then we all clustered in my boss’s office (best view) and watched the whole thing unfold. I’ve never seen so many cops in one place, and I grew up in California!
Good that nobody from your office got in the middle of it.
Powdered? It’s a brave, new world I guess.
Yep. A couple of people had just returned from walking right where it took place. Good timing!
No, not a brave new world, just lots and lots of Doritos and Cheeze Puffs.
Oh, and grated Parmesan. Can’t have a good salad without that.
I was hoping for shredded Parmesan.
...and powdered Blue Cheese would be just wrong. It would turn gray. I guess I’m just a powdered cheese Luddite.
Crumbled would work, though; especially on a freshly grilled hunk of Prime Rib. Medium to weduim-well.
Crumbled, of course. But there’s a brave, new world of difference between powdered and crumbled.
No Way!
Way!
I could have thrown a rock and hit the perp’s car. If we could open these windows, that is.
I’m happy to hear they got him.
Happy Canada Day!
Former IT guy at my office used to do this bitchin’ little trick that would fool XP into repairing itself. I’ve been COMBING the web looking for any shred of info about that, but to no avail.
IF I can find it, there’s some preliminary setup, then you go through the recovery console and Windows gets fooled into doing the rest on its own.
Y’ever heard of that D.C.?
