This time, things did get better............

It's been a while 'cos I've been busy but.............I'm back. The annoying Zemanta panel on the left has gone back to the right side and my formatting is back so that's good. I have updated all the software etc on Dees laptop and all is well there, apart from the fact that it is running Vista because the drivers don't work with anything else. Fluff, cat, was very in need of loving this morning, every time I walked past her,she slapped me with her paw. As usual, Titch was still up on Sallys bed. The heavens opened this morning just as we arrived at the uni, I dropped Hazel off outside her office and drove to my parking spot and I had to increase the speed of the wipers to maximum in order to see where I was going. Then, as I parked, most of the downpour stopped and within only a few minutes, we had a clear blue sky. The wind is still high but all the water has gone and it's quite warm now.
I have been playing with the beta image of Win7 for staff this morning. It's very good apart from the convoluted security measures that are in place as a result of uni requirements and the new extra security that Microsoft have put in place on Win7. It took me twenty minutes to work out how to make myself an administrator and then install some pretty basic software. It works fine now and the software is very useful but, if I had known how many hoops I would need to leap through, I would have installed it on my XP PC. The Win7 beta is the hybrid image so it's pretty small and runs very well.
