Sixteen Minutes
Yesterday I got my laptop out of the shop. I have said it has problems since I got it, but I can't really explain what they are or what the symptoms are. A couple of months ago, I bought this little TV tuner that lets your computer act as a TV, plus you can record any video and save it as a file. Well, this nifty little unit consistently gave me the blue screen. I figured it was the computer and not the tuner. The computer shop, after looking at the code on a picture of the blue screen said they saw the problem and said they could fix it. Yesterday I got it back. Excited. Sixteen minutes later, blue screen. I'm taking it back, with another photo of another blue screen.
This morning for the dog walk the sky was very clear. After only a few cloudy mornings, the difference in the stars is amazing. Centaur is completely up now in the mornings, I see his front hooves, Alpha Centauri and Beta Centauri both clear and bright. The Southern Cross doesn't get much higher in the sky. Every morning the stars are a little higher than they were the previous morning. I saw a shooting star that flew over three quarters of the sky.
After work I have an appointment for the dogs checkup and ear infection. Tomorrow I am going to see the OI Girl and am very excited about that. Ya'know, yesterday I said SOMETIMES!
I didn't sleep worth a dang last night, I went to bed at 10:20 and was still awake at 12:47. then I woke up at about 4:05 and that was it for me.
Anyway, That'll do for today, I could go on and on.

Actually found you through another blog! Just wanted to say hello. Have a beautiful day!
I hate computer problems, especially with home computers because I can't just pick up the phone and call the help desk!
Glad you're seeing OI Girl and are excited about it. That's what we all wanted to hear!
Every time I read your posts, I think 'that MarkD60, he is SUCH a guy!'.
Computer problems! UGH!! That is something that will make me loose my patience very quickly! I wish I could see those constellations but either I don't get up that early, or they don't show up in MY skies! Lucky you! Enjoy Ol Girl!
We used to call it the blue screen of death when I worked as a techie.
The blue screen of death is 90% of the time a dll conflict and 100% of the time a pain in the ass.
So what did you wish for when you saw the falling star?
