I come in peace…

July 23rd, 2008

It has been a long, long while since I have posted in any of my blogs. Not for lack of anything to write, there have been plenty of those, but because of a very important element: Internet access. Well now I have Internet access via dial-up from my new digs and soon I shall have DSL access as well.

I had a harrowing experience the past three days; I thought my computer had died on me. I brought it to my office to have the in-house tech check if my suspicions that the power supply unit went kaput, only he has been absent since Monday. So this morning I took matters into my own hands; I borrowed a brand-new power supply unit from our supply officer so that I can check for myself if the problem was with the power supply unit.

As it turns out it wasn’t.

When I attached the power supply unit it still wouldn’t turn on, so I decided to do it the old-fashioned geek way; I disassembled my entire rig and put it back together again making sure that everything was good and tight.

Lo and behold! My rig came back to life!

So I connected my rig to the office network and updated my software. Then I downloaded AlienGUIse and now this is how my Desktop and Firefox look like:
