I can't believe...

...this is my first computer rant! I'd have thought I'd done one before now considering the amount of time I seem to spend coaxing these flaky machines to do what I want - sometimes to the extent of shouting at them to JUST FACKING TURN ON!!!!

Today was pretty typical: a full day's work to carry out, creating groovy graphics for another hip and happening school promotional film. But, what's this? The disk in which all my work lives has decided not to appear. Fantastic! Let me have another coffee and a blood pressure tablet...

I managed to narrow it down to a simple power cable fault and got the drive to appear. But at one point the bleeding machine wouldn't even turn on! Good job the wean was at nursery otherwise she would have seen her daddy reduced to a weeping wreck!

Oh dear.Technology heh. On the funny side this reminds me of early IT crowd....

Hello IT.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
OK, well, the button on the side. Is it glowing?
Yeah, you need to turn it on. Err, the button turns it on.
Yeah, you do know how a button works, don't you? No, not on clothes.

Hope you managed to get your project out on time!
