Yesterday was a bit of a mess.

It started when I overslept. I hadn’t slept at all the previous night so I was knackered. As a result, I was an hour late for my immunotherapy. As a result of that, the hospital trip was a long one.

To cheer myself up after that, I decided to buy a couple of laptops – one for Herself and one for me.

Naturally when I finally got home I had to unpack my new purchases.

I tried installing Linux beside Windoze on Herself’s machine. I couldn’t get that to work so I wiped Windoze altogether. Herself now has a pure Linux machine and she loves it.

I installed Linux on my new machine and that was grand. It’s a lovely machine and is ten times faster than the old one. But the joy didn’t last long. Later on I booted up the machine and it would only display what looked like a mobile phone version. It even displayed a lot of the “aps” that seemed to be copied from my mobile. Weird. I even powered off my phone in case they were talking to each other. They weren’t.

Once again, I had a bad night last night and couldn’t sleep at all. So in the wee small hours I attacked the new laptop. It is driving me insane! I have reloaded God knows how many times and I still can’t get it to work properly. Most of the time it just boots straight into Windoze with no Grub menu. The only way I can run Linux is to hack my way through the emergency boot options, in my case by pressing F11.

I’m into Linux at the moment, slapping out this brainfart. It’s working briliantly [though its spelling hasn’t improved any], but now I’m too scared to switch it off in case i can’t get back in again.

bugger!
