Why Computers Sometimes Crash!



by Dr. Seuss

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,



and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort,


and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,


then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,


and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash,


and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash,


then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on the cable on the table at your house,


says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,


but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,


that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall...

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,


so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse;


then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,


'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk,

and the macro code instructions cause unwanted risk,


then you'll have to flash the BIOS and you'll want to RAM your ROM,


just quickly turn the darn thing off and run to tell your Mom!

Well,that certainly clears things up for me.


How about you?

Remember - Keep Smiling it makes people wonder what you are up to!!

Oh well, just jump right back of the diet band wagon Emm and it will go as quick as it arrived.

Hope you've got a good week planned.

Monday contd:

Massage today which was really great as aches and pains hitting the roof. Apparently my shoulder problem is known as a frozen shoulder. Looked it up and it certainly tallies with all the symptoms and looks like it could take several years to get better.

Wednesday 17th July 2013

Just too hot to sleep so I was up at the crack of dawn and decided to get busy baring in mind that my back was on it's best behaviour..
Sorted lots of items in the bedroom as I do tend to wear something and then fold it neatly but leave in a pile..so that's all been put away in the proper draws etc.

Home help called today as she's on holiday next week. Honestly..she is such a lovely person and doesn't mind doing anything I ask. We..I say "we" but mainly she took all the things off my computer desk and hammered it back together because when the new carpet was laid and they lifted it over it sort of came apart a bit and the keyboard shelf kept dropping out. Very annoying that!! Being a flat pack item they are never as good as those pre-assembled. Searched online for a pre-assembled desk but they are really expensive so that will have to wait for now altho' this seems to be very much improved now.

Not much else done but I am quite pleased with my early effort.

Breakfast - Eggs scrambled 2 + Finn Crisps 3 + Butter
Lunch - Brazil Nuts 50g
Snack - Strawberries 50g + Crème Fraiche 50ml
Evening - Salmon fillet baked 117g + Cabbage 75g + Carrot 70g + Th.Isle Dressing 20g
Extra - Milk 180ml

Morning Emm - what about trying an auction room - you might get a good quality desk for a reasonable price and I think that most of them deliver too. You could then sand it and either varnish or paint. Worth a look if nothing else.

Hope all is well with you.

Not a good night altho' I'm quite sure I'm not alone in that!
Had a nice snooze for a couple of hours this morning which made a difference.
Went into back garden to water tom plants and was surprised that it was actually quite cooler outside so stayed and did a bit of weeding especially pulling out bindweed which is such an absolute pest!
My lovely fav rose..Whiskey Mac, is finally flowering. My friends gave it to me some few years ago but Mow & Grow cut it down when they came.. stupid twats! Must take a pic of it.
Met my neighbour in the garden and said to her that I had cleaned all the hallway and she said she hadn't noticed! .. cheeky sod!

Pleased to see weight is now down to 13st 5.6lbs..:clap:

Menu today has been very good.

Breakfast - Oats 30g + Honey 1 Tablspn
Lunch - Cheese 50g + Salad + S.Cream 20g
Snack - Strawbs. 50g + Cr. Fraiche 50ml
Evening - Bacon 70g + Egg fried 1
Extra - Milk 120ml
