Due to the recent computer cock-ups (and by the way, I was mildly irritated to receive a letter which read:
"Dear Mr Downes,
You should not claim to have had a `massive computer failure` when actually you had a malfunctioning disk drive"
I bravely resisted the temptation to recommend that he undertake an act of biologically impossible self-procreation, and ignored the pedantic fool.)
I have lost a lot of data, including the contact details for Tristan - one of the youngest bloggo contributors, but a field naturalist for whom I have a great deal of respect. I keep on hoping to lure him and his family down to the Weird Weekend. But his e-mail address is lost in the aether.
So Tristan, if you are reading this, please either ring me, or email. And if you happen to be in Devon next weekend....
I took my laptop in to be repaired too. The guy in the shop thinks the corruption might be due to a Windows Vista update.
ReplyDeleteI suppose this is another case of a "malfunctioning disk drive" but when you can't access your computer and when lots of your data is in jeopardy, of course it feels like a "massive computer failure".
looks like a jolly nice garden he's sat in in that pic
