It has been a month now since you posted the above message, what's going on? You seem able to post here OK and to your blog, but you don't have time for your authors or their readers.

I have finally unearthed my spare PC. Now I have to try swapping the PSU into the old one. Watch out for fireworks!

I was doing so well. Eventually I found my spare PC. I planned to swap the power supply into the big brute today. Ah the best laid plans. Mine have gang agley.

I was doing some gardening this morning. I was busy wrestling a cotoneaster stump out of the ground with a pickaxe, using the tool as a lever. And, of course the lever slipped.

In Ice Skating parlance I performed a Triple Oops, but I landed on the wrong edge, and made a one buttock landing on concrete. I bounced! A padded arse has a lot of benefits!! I did get a perfect 10 score from the United Kingdom judge, but the Russian judge only gave me 6.4

So I've been to the doc. Broken nothing, but I'm in for four painful weeks. I've hurt a pelvic joint. So my plans to get updates started again, which depended on my cannibalising an Acer were delayed by a Cotoneaster. Ah the gardening stuff is fun!

I haven't forgotten the site, I'm just a little (well large and bruised!) behind now!

I will not laugh. I will not laugh. I will not laugh!

But what a picture! Thanks. And, ouch! Sorry, timmy - get well soon.

(& buggering probably not a good idea).

cheers

Witch hazel is what you need to get the bruising out.

My pappy alweays used dynamite for those types of jobs. I remember once he used 3 1/2 sticks under a big ole oak stump. Rocks came raining down. Tree stump? What tree stump? Made a nice pond though.

You take care of your ass, now, and see if you can get yourself some dynamite. It works real good on tree stumps.

Ah yes, dynamite. Well, it would need about an ounce, maximum, a detonator and about two feet of slow match. And I would be arrested. It's right by the house, too.

And the cute young man who delivered a load of flower pots this morning to apply it. But I can also hardly move at present!

Yes. Dynamite does have certain drawbacks. But it's a hell of a lot easier on the ass than your method.

Timmy, sympathy from one who knows what it is like to be laid up for a month or more.
I think because of the distance it was ok for some of us to laugh a little bit though.
Did you look as good as Johnny Weir doing the triple axle?

Hi all, I contacted Timmy to establish what might be wrong... I then sent him the bit he needed. It seems to have cured the problem... I'm one of those that stored uselful components from old machines on the ... well you never know It might come in useful principle. Seems to have paid off...

I'd better get some chapters going myself now... but I had my laptop nicked and in the bag was my backup drive and notebook... managed to find some of it on a memory stick so am getting things together again.

Now "all" I need is a local PC expert who can update my BIOS without turning the whole PC into a lump of scrap iron. Currently it's so unstable that I can hardly complete a site update without it crashing!

I don't dare do it! I could do it, but I need the machine to work afterwards!

Timmy, a big thank you from those of us posting stories on the site. Needless to say the mail has been frantic asking about you. Glad to see you back on track.

As for a PC expert, I'm sure there's a local lad of about 10 years of age who can do it all for you. Damn smart ass kids. ;-D

Bound to be. But can one use a 10 year old, or is that bios abuse?
