Edit: Hmmm. This entry seems to be causing problems and simply not appearing. Apparently some over-sensitive people found it way too much information as well so it's probably better it's changed.

Suffice it to say that I appear to have yet more bugs going round my house.

"Ewww Amelie, you should wash more" ... er, no actually. These bugs are drawn to warmth and carbon dioxide and live in the walls. I couldn't clean my house/self any more if I tried, I'm a serious clean freak which is why having these things around my house is seriously annoying me.

Blah :(

Nothing to blog about...

I am so incredibly interesting (sarcasm). I have nothing useful to blog about. In fact, I have nothing to blog about full stop... How very boring.

I did think of doing that "ask me questions!!1" meme thing that's going around at the moment but I have a Q&A for that so there's no real point... So instead I will ramble about how this layout is boring me and how I have absolutely no ideas for anything new. I know of those sites like colourlovers.com that give you colour schemes to work with and stuff but those never give me any inspiration. Sure they give me colour schemes, but there is more to a site than colour and unlike some people, I can't just see colours and visualise a design. :(

If anyone has any ideas of what sort of layout they'd like to see then by all means say so. This one was never really 100% finished and I can't be bothered to fix it, I'd rather just make something new because I'm bored of it.

How to break your new laptop in 6 easy steps

You will need the following tools:

  1. A week-old laptop, present from relatives preferred
  2. Um...that's it

Note: no brain is required for the purposes of this tutorial.

Method:

  1. Make sure you have finally finished customising and configuring your new laptop after having spent the last week getting lost in its preinstalled Windows Vista.
  2. Decide to be geeky and install a second Operating System. You have done this before (it was a fluke, but no one has to know that) so this should be no problem at all.
  3. Run through installation of said Operating System, making sure not to miss the part about partitioning the hard drive.
  4. Yay, new OS installed. Reboot! Windows will then say it cannot run.
  5. Realise you have completely messed up the partitioning and therefore have chopped Windows in half. Rectify this mistake by simply deleting and reformatting the partitions of the hard drive that you want back.
  6. Reboot! Your computer should now display a lovely error message saying the boot partition is corrupted or similar. Congratulations, you have now completed this tutorial.

Oh yes, that was me yesterday. I've had this laptop a week and I've broken it already. Luckily I was able to repair most of the damage without reinstalling everything (yay rescue disk) but some things (e.g. wireless) are still broken :( Blah.
