WINXP: Lugable takes a holiday

Sunday, May 4, 2008

Thursday night, actually Friday wee hours, I couldn’t sleep; so I pounded out several reams of my best prose. It tired me out so I went back to bed. All happy and ready to sleep.

Friday 6AM, I close the lid and go to work. Like I’ve done for what feels like eons. I open up at work and screens black. No power. SO I power up and pouf the data fairy has taken that stuff and sent it to the bit bucket.

I wriggled on that hook for the day. Off and on. It was gone.

Mozy has been spinning cycles but it’s crap.

So I’m screwed … again. BY microsoft’s ‘productivity’ software.

If I ever buy another microdots product, kick me.

TECHNOLOGY: Old Software “Serious Creativity”

Wednesday, February 15, 2006

Interesting problem. Some old software from the WIN95 days won’t install on XP. I’ve been reinstalling it as I move from machine to machine. It has in the past. Why not now? It is particualarly agravating when I spend my scarce person technology dollars on something and it ages out. I can understand hardware failure, but software? Now I am sure they will sell me a replacement for 75$ but why should I. I bought it. Whatever it was! Last time I got screwed like this was KeeBoo. Oh well live and learn. BTW I sent them an email. Let’s see what happens.
