Well, it has been rough few days with the computer’s the gremlins struck big time.

First off my trusty HP notebook slowed nearly to reverse, my own fault for not keeping an eye on downloads. I spent a full day moving files and programs onto a new 500gig external hard drive including my IM Index (organisation system). After re optimising the notebook was running sweet, just as good as taking it out of the box.

Thennnnnnnnnnnnn……..

The gremlins took over the new hard drive failed. The light went to RED the drive started clicking. When did this happen? Immediately, on my return from buying the new pack of DVD’s to run the backup. All my source files, video and audio, GONE. Thankfully, the majority of files are also on the desktop computer and the ones that aren’t are recent downloads, I can replace, I just have to wait for the replacement hard drive to arrive now.

My information site officiallifestyle . info showed as going over quota on checking, I found it was a vulnerability in the partner link exchange program well taken advantage of by a link spammer, the main problem after locking out the spammer, the server software stooped me from removing any files. Being over quota I did not have the space to create a trash bin, No great problem I thought as this is my own server just increase the quota and clean up. GRRRRRRRR quota increased by 250% still no trash bin. still working on that one.

Then just to cap it off today one of the grandchildren managed to download something onto the networked computer I have set up for them that froze the wireless connection to the desktop system. A simple reset and running the spam check did not work.

So at this moment in time I have a computer full of business files that wont talk to the net and a notebook with no business files that will and a server that won’t let me delete files.

I have pest control coming tomorrow to remove a wasp nest in the house wall I wonder if they have a way of removing gremlins? I wont hold my breath

As it’s about midnight, I think a couple of whiskeys and an early night I will de grmlinise in the morning.
