I think I'm back...

What an ordeal!!

I started reinstalling Windows on Friday night (about 9pm) after I'd made sure I'd backed up everything I could possibly think of!

I was probably about 2/3 of the way through installing & reloading everything by 3pm Saturday when I realised that I couldn't run any of the websites that I develop on my local machine. A huge issue! 2 hours, much Googling and many attempts to fix it later, I gave up and started installing Windows - again!!!!

Its now about 11am on Sunday and fingers crossed that I am all back.. Everything seems to be installed and working ok. I'm sure I'll find stuff that I've forgotten to install - probably just as I go to use it - but I should be able to get back into my work and online world now :)

Sick Computer :(

My computer is sick... It started last Sunday morning when it had problems starting up. I've spent far too many hours trying to fix it - at the moment the majority of the functions are working but enough aren't (like my wireless network connection) to think that a drastic rebuild is the only solution..

So that's my job for the weekend :( I guess looking on the bright side it will be a chance to clear out all of the unused programs that have crept onto my machine in the last 3 years. And a fantastic way to check if I really am backing up all the stuff I need to be. *gulp*

I'll be able to access email on another computer, and hopefully will be back in the world of blog very soon!
