tings can only get better
i've said this a few times today already, only to find i was wrong, again.
it's been one of those days where the best course of action would have been to just return to bed.
my office which was once a 17th century, thatched chicken shed full of chickens (and chicken shit) blew all it's electrics a couple of weeks ago.
our (new) trusted electrician went on holiday for two weeks the day it happened.
my office is 200ft from the nearest working socket in the farmhouse.
i ran a series of extension leads out to power up my main computers today and when i fired them both up, the most important one went "f'cough".
'no problem' i thought, 'this is why i have an expensive auto backing up, 4TB raid drive, off site in the farmhouse'.
it hasn't been backing up since april, and one has been to busy to notice.
i called my friendly french computer geek genius who maintains my technology for me.
he suggested as an urgent solution he would send a colleague to the farm to rip out the innards of the mortally confused computer and copy them to a external hardrive.
and that i should go to canterbury pissy-world to get one.
on my way to the mini perou-mobile i noticed that someone yesterday in soho had keyed all down the passenger side of it: thanks.
looking at hardrives in canterbury pc world i remembered i had a brand new 2TB harddrive on a shelf back at the farm and i had wasted 30minutes more of my life.
wasting life is one of my ALL time hates.
the bastards that hacked into the server in canada, where perou.co.uk sat, and placed an ad for cheap viagra which got my site removed from google for the last month caused me and my internet people to switch out servers.
which caused me to have missing emails and missing diary days here, all which have now been resolved.
tomorrow, the electrician cometh to fix the office, hopefully.
i'm about to run out of strongbow.
this is a catalogue of my bad day's events.but despite all the nonsense and nuisance, i STILL know i'm a very lucky person and i have it real good.
in fact, when i turn on the news, i'm ashamed to even have mentioned these silly things that are easily fixed with some money and patience.
big perou props going out to people with real problems.
