High Tech / Low Starting Point

Spike handles one of the art works on display at Imaginarium, last Thursday at the Singapore Art Museum. It was a fun exhibition. The fact that I've been able to upload the file from my OneDrive folders suggests I may finally be following the instructions.

#OldManAlmostJoinsThe21stCentury

Stumbling in the dark

It's 4:49 am.  I've not yet been to bed and I don't imagine I will until this evening.  Last night our computer problem reappeared and we lost sight of the E drive with all kinds of useful (some even necessary) data files.  I've been searching (almost) aimlessly for a solution all night; uninstalling a suspect AVG update, replacing AVG with an anti-virus programme called Kaspersky, running the new software, finally getting checkdisk to run on the E drive ... sitting here, in front of the screen, watching the programmes run.  I knew there were just over 118,000 files on the E drive.  Now I know there are 50,000,000 free clusters that get checked (I've no idea what a cluster might be ... 0 / 1 pairings?  Maybe).  And I know there are almost 1,000,000 files on the PC in three drives: C, E and F.

Twenty minutes ago I took the risk of re-starting the computer.  That's been problematic for days now.  It has seldom re-booted.  This morning though it worked first time and when I checked windows explorer all the drives could be seen.  If I fixed the problem I have no idea how I managed it.  Luck, ignorance and stubbornness.  At least it's working ... for now.

Skype

I'm joining the 20th Century it seems (the 21st is still a big ask...).  At last, after I don't know how long, I possess a computer (my FABBY wee ASUS T101G Transformer) with front and rear facing cameras and a functioning Skype account.  The world is my oyster.  I am its piece of grit.

Mind you, looking at the photo from earlier this evening, maybe the ASUS possesses me ...
