Test Test

WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Hoping this is going to work now without ANY hassles. Because that’s all I’ve had with my PC since last week Thurday- hahaha. Well ok, I would have said big swear words here BEFORE the word hassles as it was that bad!

Photoshop starting giving me a LOT Of command errors on Thursday afternoon , not dragging objects and elements and releasing them to their new appointed placements - but seemed to be on a piece of elastic that whipped it back to it’s original position – WTH??? OY!, so I thought No biggy- just un-install and re-install it right?? BWWWWWWWWAHAHAHAHA,

NOPE- that didn’t work and it was the start to the longest week I can remember EVER! BWAHAHAHA. More errors kept coming- so of COURSE I shout to the Only person I know who is a PC genius- Bunny Wunny.

Friday we spent almost three hours on Skype going through logs, running virus scans, more logs, etc etc ( shhhhheeee’s I know more about this PC in just those three hours than working on it for over two years! lol)

I decided that after all that I would rather just re-format this thing and get it over and done with- mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, my IT fetches is on Saturday night as he is extremely busy - so I sit waiting until Monday morning and get my PC back with a HUGE smile on his face.

He’s put on Windows 7 as a present for me. Now TRUST me when I say I’m sooooo happy to see my baby back and he know’s that I can do all the basic like load my programmes and folders etc etc.

HUH??- what the hell happened to my folder views I loved, the drag and drop ease I find with XP- OMG, I sat here the whole evening on Monday wanting to cry as when I opened photoshop- it was dragging and SLOW! I couldn’t find anything with the folder views ( I like my thumbnails! lol)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I didn’t know what to do – sitting here feeling frustrated and really thankful to him and knowing he was fully booked for the week- but really wanting my old XP back- KWIM??

Did some google searches about Windows 7 etc etc, as I could at least work the net browser with ease- BWHAHAHa, and most Graphic people found 7 not really *designer friendly* unless you have a TON of extra RAM. So that was it- I phoned him to please come format it AGAIN and put my old OS back! lol

WHAT???- you think that would solve all my probs??- BWAHAHA- NOT!

After re-loading XP for me quickly here at home and leaving me to do the rest of course

, I kept getting errors like before- So I shout for Shaun ( Deon’s brother who lives just a few houses away), he pops over and is in some screens I haven’t even SEEN before- gets it running enough to load up photoshop – but still have errors on the thing! He say’s he thinks somethings still corrupt or missing. HUH??

I’m Telling Bunny all this now via mail on Waynes LT all the time and of course she reminds me to do updates etc etc. So I spent most of the night doing all the MS updates! Sheee’s bandwidth gone I tell you-

What happens the next morning when I click RE-START all ready to get going??- BLACK SCREEN with a error message! BWAHAHAHAHA- OMG, I swear I am a patient person, but I so felt like just putting my head down and crying like a baby.

Deon was here for coffee when it happened and said- WAIT, Leave it! I got similar problems when he downloaded IE7 and it changed some of his programme files ( graphics and CAD programmes)- HUH?

So my dear friend Bunny PHONES all the way from the States to give Deon instructions, and to remind him to do this and that-

and guess what! HERE I AM! FAST, CLEAN and NOT one ERROR at all! WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- OMG, I’m like a cat that got all the cream today-

Yes, I have a weeks work of catch up, lost some mail in the crashes- but NO WORK! WOOT WOOT- Bunny’s constant BACK UP mail reminders to all the DSO girls sure makes you do it- as well as from past experiences with this poor PC- hahahaha

Thanks Bunny and Deon- you guys are my HERO’S and I love ya both MUCHLY!!

Thats the short story to a LONG weeks saga! hahaha

OY- off to do some more copying! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Until tomorrow

hugs and loves

dun-dun-duuhhhhhhhh….

Hi folks!  Bunny here, just dropping a  little note on Kim’s behalf.  She is having pc troubles, which I'm sure she’ll tell you about when she gets them all fixed. LOL!  Anyway, just wanted to tell you guys she’s missing you all!

She DOES get email on a laptop but that's about it.  So feel free to comment below and leave her some digi-love.  She is going thru some serious design withdrawal.  And not having her pc is making her crazy. LOL!!!!!!!

“WE LOVE YOU KIM!!!!!!!!!”

New Kit and illegal plants

BWWWWWAHAHA- did that catch your attention? Well it sure got mine too yesterday. My gardener of 15 years was here and I'm at the PC as usual when he stands in my kitchen shouting Madam ( pronounced MEDEM- lol), and he is laughing at the same time. He speaks in his native tongue Xhosa to Cynthia my housekeeper, who says *HAI* and starts laughing too.

I'm up going to see what's so funny, and in his hand is this rather measly sad looking weed. He says- Medem you're growing GANJA! lol

WHAT,HUH????- What you mean "Ganja" Johnston??, I mean dagga medem! BWWWAHAHAHA, OMG, I have never seen one in plant form before and he was really battling to keep his laughter in check.

He found it weeding my flower beds and I have no idea how it got there. to be honest, I'm sure I could thank a friend here and there who have watched the stars outside a few evenings over the years- BWWWWWWWAHAHAHA.

Nathan of course thought it really funny, and even phoned some of his friends. OY! But it was pulled out and went into the bin, much to LOT'S of teasing and jokes about growing a *vegetable* patch-BWHAHAHA.

*REMINDER*

Don't miss it- LAST DAY
