Windows Update

Posted by Bloggylife in troubleshooting, windows on June 27, 2010

Interesting windows update!

My neighbour was saying that her laptop scared her starting by itself at 3 AM from hibernate mode.

MINE TOO!!!

How weird is that, both of us at the same exact time.

I went back to the last changes that have happened, a windows update just installed itself, you know the one where it doesn’t care about your updates “download only configuration” option.

The laptop required a restart to finalise the update, but I didn’t want to do that, just to see if the behaviour repeats itself and of course it did. Next day, 3 AM the laptop came to life on its own!

I restarted and now a new problem is occurring, everytime my screensaver comes up after an inactivity period and I wiggle my finger about on the mouse pad, the bluescreen failure occurs!

I think it has something to do with the display driver causing the whole laptop to fail. I’m not sure. I just took a copy of my latest folder that I’m working on.

DAMN you Microsoft! I think :P

Books

Posted by Bloggylife in book, personal, UK on June 27, 2010

Books, books and more books. The way of life here helps me read more:

  • Many book stores available, I go in and loose myself :D
  • Amazon UK, my basket always has items in them. It is hard to resist the click to order and have your items delivered within one week.
  • Again my life style, when waiting for the bus, I can be waiting for upto 30 minutes and so I sit or lean against the wall and read. Since I’m not driving and I’m the passenger, I read while in the bus or train until I get dizzy :P
  • Everyone around you is reading, it really helps :D and is an open source for book recommendations :P and a good conversation starter. “ohhh, I read this book, it is very interesting and a good read”.

I’ve read a lot of light books lately, when I’ve got so much going on, I need to ease and relax my mind a bit or it’ll explode. The three books were:

  • His other lover by Lucy Dawson.”A crazy woman fighting for her sorry excuse of a man“. This novel proves that women are crazy when it comes to their man! They do not acknowledge common sense and they loose grip of reality.
  • Getting rid of Matthew by Jane Fallon. I liked “Foursome” more, it was so much funnier.
  • My best friend’s girl by Dorothy Koomson. I enjoyed this book very much, it was light and entertaining. I didn’t know how it’ll end till I finished reading the book.

And the last book was “Precious” by Sapphire, I just felt really appreciative of my life and the circumstances I live in. You’ll feel so blessed while reading this book.

On my to read list.

I picked this Stieg Larsson because of all the hype about the brilliance of his novels and I chose his first one. The second book by Kathryn Stockett, I just stumbled upon while Amazon-ing :P
