The almighty PC returns!

Posted on: December 30, 2008 Categories: Blog Updates, Computers, Life

Recently there has been barely any updates on James’ Blog, no new tutorials or interesting posts, Or anything thats really that great. Well seems lame, but this because of my main PC being out of action after the power supply (The PSU) got fried, in some bizare and random way, but today I got it replaced and it’s good to be seeing Windows XP again! Any updates that I’ve previously posted have been on a laptop (Which has a cracked screen so I have been using my PC monitor externally to be able to half use it) so with this half functioning laptop I have only basically been able to post updates and thats about it. Well finally the main PC is back!

Technology really not being on my side at recently but it’s finally starting to look up! PC is back and now I can actually work properly with all my applications and everything and my laptop is half way getting fixed, currently looking for a screen replacement for a Toshiba Equium M Series Laptop. Message me if you have one going. But hey I got my PC back and in a few weeks hopefully find a screen replacement and get it fitted!

I’ve lasted two months without my PC and it’s been hell, my PC is the ultimate machine that all of my work resolves around, so any of my website development, gaming, blog writing, music etc is all done and saved on this machine, and also my PC has applications like Photoshop, Steam (Games like CS:Source Half Life etc run off this) and other things. The main thing I missed is the gaming. I haven’t gamed in like two months. I’d just started a new campaign on COD4 as well, and I haven’t been able to play on my own game server that me and a friend run (Only to monitor via the Control Panel via a web client) And still atfter having the PC working again for about 7 hours I haven’t gamed at all! Not having a PC for two months and then once I get it back don’t use it to it’s potenial, shameful! I feel like a gaming moment coming on after I post this.

So yeah basically normal service has resumed, look out for more updates pouring in now!

I know what you mean man, I need my computer not only for entertainment but also for my work e.g. my website development stuff and of course college work, I mean I wasn’t totally screwed as I had a Laptop, but performing some of the tasks that I usually do on the PC but using the laptop was a bitch, but anyway it’s all good now the new power supply is better performing than the other one. Hopefully should last a while and not make small dents in my wallet!
