Bad Week For Electronics and Me

For some reason almost everything in my life is messing up at the moment.

1) The circuit my computer was connected to blew, and in the process taking out my computers power supply. Since I have no idea how to fix a power supply Im stuck with a brand new PC, that I can’t turn on. I would take it to the place I bought it from, but that was all the way back in Pakistan, so for the moment Im screwed.

2) I didn’t mind when the computer broke, I had my trusty laptop, it has been with me through thick and thin, and I have been using it for the past 3 years, and it has never let me down. I come back from the office, take a look at the laptop, and what do I see?? Fatal Error…. Friggin Awesome. I try to restart and I get the same thing.

No GO. NOw this laptop had everything I saved from my old computer, and BAM its all gone. So I find the trusty windows XP cd and pop it in. After about 6 trys I finally get the damn thing installed.

My problems are not over yet though, because I have a wireless card and not wireless built in, so I have to somehow find a way to get the drivers on the laptop.

I fire up the old XDA executive, and download the drivers for my wireless card, and than I can’t seem to install the software for my XDA because I don’t have the proper service pack installed, I should go online and download the latest service pack. ANyone else wonder why I have grey hair when Im only 23??

Luckily I was able to get the infrared to get started and now I am finally online!

I don’t know why, but for some reason I feel like blaming Bill Gates.

Oh yea, and the charger on my Sat Nav is busted as well, I really can’t travel without it.
