Phew!

dead

I didn’t think I’d be with you tonight. I turned on my computer this morning and…nothing. Not even a beep.

Which implied a video card problem. When I got home this evening, I took the lid off and wiggled all the cards and. Yeah. It booted normally. But I don’t like this.

Not least because something similar happened at work last week and we ended up buying a whole ‘nother machine. Fortunately, the techie we got in was able to rescue everything off the hard drive, but it was touch and go for a while. Seems our automatic backup program hasn’t actually run itself for three years and I never checked.

Have I mentioned that I am legally listed as the Information Officer? Yeah, it’s a thing.

Anyway, I suck at backups. Must do better. Good evening!

p.s. illustration not mine. Not to be construed as a book endorsement. Found it on a Google search and liked it.
