LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME 2020

Yesterday was a lost day, spent down a software wormhole. Woke up thought I'll "just" put an app on my computer to link with shiney new phone. Go to Microsoft store, find app, won't install on PC. Right try and access Microsoft store direct from PC, discover Microsoft store app not on PC. Try and download relevant program, won't install (no app to install with). Go shopping come back and roll back last update of Windows 10 no good. Reinstall updates, google problem, read forum, try solution, run cmd to restore registry, rude message. Google rude message, read more forums and suggested solutions. Discover this is not an uncommon problem; try different fix. Break for lunch. Try another fix, further reading shows although some of these fixes fix some occurrences, there is no one solution. Consider clean reinstall of Windows 10; not guaranteed to work, nor is creating new admin account on PC. Finally find blog from IT professional in South America who had same problem and goes through fixing this issue step by step offering 4 possible solutions. Solution 1 run PowerShell as admin enter reset cmds no joy. 2 as before, but remove some security protestion no joy. Solution 3 remove all security protection and repeat, no joy. Finally 4 run cmd as admin enter code from step 3 and press return; screen full of orange and red warnings, then goes blue and successfully installs a load of apps from Microsoft including the desired one. Close various things and tidy up, go to store and download desired app, installs 5 minutes later phone connected. Only took 6 - 7 hours, day lost in garden, opened bottle of wine and poured glass. Sat back and roundly cursed modern technology and own stubbornness, poured another glass of wine and went to do some cooking.

 

So many of these products are plug and play, but they never are.

 

I have a delivery due tomorrow, I had a message from Royal Mail it stated:

“Your parcel is due on Monday between 10.28 am and 2.28 pm”

What is the point of giving such precise times to the minute, almost to the second, with such a huge window in between of 4hours

 

Every Sunday morning when i haven't got anything to do, i start watching YouTube about making greetings cards or cooking i fall asleep and get a headache that will stay with me all day, even if i take a painkiller, i should know better.

 

When microwave ovens first appeared in the shops, there were all kinds of rumours going around. Don't trust them they said, and "your hair and teeth will fall out"
"You will lose your sex drive"
"You'll creak every morning"
"Your eye brows will go wild"
Well, i can confirm that they were spot on, cos all them things have happened to me.

 

Yeah wish I'd got that door fixed earlier.

 

Actually Jack, the actual micro wave is about the diameter of a pencil. That is why the doors can have the screen with all those little holes to see through. The holes are too small for a micro wave to try to escape yet you can see very clearly what is happening to your dinner.

 

The pre delivery times given are quite ridiculous, with their ‘to the last minute timing’, but the reality is even worse.

I often have drivers standing talking to me at my door who cant give me the parcel because the allotted time had not been reached, eg it was too early.

but more peculiar than that I had another driver only a few days ago telling me that he could not deliver to the next house until he delivered to the one before it in order but they were not in.

 

The item I have been looking at on ebay - is decribed as:

Item Weight: 53 hundredths-pounds

 

I have cleared out all the temp files, recycle bin, etc etc and my laptop is still sluggish. It seems to have happened after the last Windows 10 update! Is this my imagination or has anyone else got this issue?

And a small moan.. my winbot is acting up a little. I know. They aren't supposed to be good with little windows but it did a truly lousy job with mine.
