It's Saturday, the best day of the week for some of us. What's happening, dudes?

We've planned a barbeque, so obviously it's forecast to thunderstorm all lunchtime. Have a good one, all!

My crummy old win 7 computer is stuck on the starting windows screen and I'm quietly freaking out. It happened once before and I managed to get it to work again after hours of it doing whatever it did to fix it. Now I'm not sure if powering it off manually is the best option but then I'm thinking, what other option is there?

Turn it off, restart and hammer the F8 key to boot up in safe mode...

I powered off and rebooted without fixing. Just making fresh backups of everything. I can't wait till my Linux box arrives.

Yeah that's on my to-do list, set up a Linux dual boot
