What annoyed you today?

[Hinfrance]

1) I really ought to follow my own advice and NEVER install Windows updates. Last evening's auto update has completely shredded W7, such that no operating system is showing.
2) Failing that, I really ought to have bought a second internal hard drive big enough to keep a disk image on, instead of thinking I'd get one in the January sales.
3) Thank the geeks for Ubuntu live, which is what I am using now, while I try to figure out how to get my data backed up before I shred the hard drive installing W7 again. Head scratching is required, because the drive is completely encrypted with Truecrypt, so Ubuntu can't see any of the data. Rats!

Panicked me there H.Seemed to have updated the night before for me and no problems with my windows 7 but I must back up images now you`ve flagged it.Been really sloppy lately.

[Hinfrance]

Regular backing up is always a good idea. I only had about a week's worth not done.

Anyhow, it turns out not to have been the Windows update per se, but a disk decryption error. I ran the Truecrypt recovery disk and I am currently back in W7 finishing off the backups before I attempt a normal restart. So it could have been worse.

. . . and we're back!

My data is on separate drives to the OS on my desktop - and they are backed up to corresponding NAS drives. And I am currently uploading it all to a cloud based secure storage site. That is taking a bit of time though. About 1/5 is done so far.

[Hinfrance]

I need to get another physical drive. The data is on a different partition, but that's encrypted too. I back the data up regularly, so it was more annoying that I didn't have an image ready to reload. However, the Truecrypt recovery disk restarted the whole thing first go.

Nothing yet...............

The day is young, give it time . .

Only 9:17 AM here and many things have annoyed me so far.  I will not bore you with the details.

THIS.

George Orwell is not dead, after all.

Perhaps the expressions 'grotesquely blubberous', 'expansively corpulent', 'like a bloated whale' or just simply 'lardarse' could take its place.

Good grief.

Reading that my only chance of getting rich is to have money left me, no chance, unless some far distant relative suddenly comes out of the blue.

I always said that I would become rich if I won it or stole it, though I don't fancy doing stir at my age, and now Ronnie Biggs has popped his clogs there's no-one to turn to for advice anyway.

It seems that homo sapiens has evolved at a faster rate than was originally thought, especially over the past decade. It has been found that skin has become exceedingly thin amongst a subspecies of people who spend their life on the lookout for things to be offended by. They have such a sad life that being offended is the highlight of their day and if everyone just ignored their plaintive whining they would be terribly offended even more, so they are doomed to die out eventually when they realise the overwhelming majority regard them as prats.

Anyone offended?

[Hinfrance]

Outraged!

[Oldboy]

Anyone offended?

Chagrined, piqued, galled, vexed, nettled, ruffled and outraged!

  You can consider our friendship at an end!

You're just a load bullies, I'm so offended that I'm not going to eat my lentil burger this lunchtime.
