Today's had its good and bad points.The computer is now officially working. New graphics card arrived, was duly installed and now we're back up and running. Only slight issue is I couldn't fit one of the fans into the case so the fan controller now throws a fit when you turn it on - but it doesn't affect actually using the thing.
On the more negative side, I've been waiting for a delivery from Hong-Kong and Farcelporce tracking told me it'd be delivered today. I dlilgently waited in all day, and of course it didn't arrive. Why? Because the delivery man couldn't find the house. Everyone else seems to manage - it's the big house-shaped thing. It even has a sign on it with the number and the road name.
We used to get this all the time, because it was a new house, but it's been there for 2 years now and most people have finally managed to update their various systems to actually recognise where it is (except for Google - which points to the middle of a field). When your one and only job is to take boxes to addresses, you would think some kind of up-to-date map might be pretty high on the list of things you need - but apparently not. They have now very kindly offered to take it to the local Post Office tomorrow (because I actually have to go to the office) - I just wonder why they didn't do that today. Or better still, just give the parcel to the Post Office to deliver in the first place.
My graphics card came by Citylink. Far better. The drivers are always friendly, they actually know where houses are and they drive lovely green and yellow vans.
My Mobile Me email is also still not working. This is starting to get silly.
