Meltdown
Ok so this isn't a pic of my computer last night but it did decide to do some pretty weird and wonderful stuff. I tried to download the latest update of tweetdeck and the PC kicked it out saying I wasn't an Administrator and then wouldn't open the old version because it had uninstalled that as part of the process. 8-/
Now obviously life can continue without tweetdeck. Honestly, I'm fairly sure that it could. There's even the rather lovely Destroy Twitter that does much the same thing. But I love tweetdeck*. I've been using it for the best part of a year, seen it grow and become more and more user friendly, including a facebook column etc.
After an hour of trying to rescue it I just thought, 'fuck it.'
The computer was refusing to recognise me as an Administrator so I couldn't do much. I found a work around on the tinternet but it sounded more complicated than... well than anything I'd ever done. EVER.
So I gave it some thought (30 seconds) and decided that the best thing was a full restore. And tonight I'm typing this from a fully restored PC that has now accepted tweetdeck and iTunes updates and that feels all sparkly and sprightly. Bless it. I was gonna get a Mac in March... I'm still having an internal debate about it, but despite my coveting of the Appley goodness I think I may stick with my PC. For despite its flaws, I still love it.**
One downside to all this is that the counter is now counting my hits to the blog, if anyone has any idea how I can remedy that let me know. So I'll attempt to just hit the blog a few times a day and use Analytics to measure my stats. It's a pity though, having gone through 15,000 hits a few weeks ago.
*tweetdeck is a twitter application.
**Especially now it's all quick and that again.
