I learnt a valuable lesson yesterday when my computer warned me that it was about to run out of battery. I plugged the charger in but the message persisted.
Then the computer went blank.
The first lesson is that when your computer charger starts making funny noises don’t ignore them. They don’t go away and it will eventually stop working. I ignored it for months. It didn’t get any worse, to be fair, but it didn’t improve either.
Of course, to a man who has all his passwords listed and who uses a variety of back-up methods, this is not a problem. You just borrow a laptop from your wife and carry on.
I have my WordPress passwords listed at the back of my diary. My 2014 diary. As you may have guessed from previous posts, I’m not the sort of man who would know where to find his 2014 diary.
As for storage, that’s something other people do. It’s like parachute jumping, I know the theory but I’m content to leave it to other people.
Fortunately, after a night of not being able to access my account, I am now able to run the computer using a borrowed charger.
I am chastened but, to be honest, no better organised.
It’s nice to be back.
Whilst writing, I have noticed that the ability to save posts has returned.
Things are looking up.

Live and learn and keep living and learning a new way.
Learning is good, and much to be preferred to vegetating.
I just go on in a disorganised way and hope that my luck holds out. I am intending to make a will soon though.
I went to make a will twenty years ago but the solicitor had popped out, despite me making an appointment. You’ve just reminded me I really should do something about it.

Thank you. Happy Christmas. 🙂
You are lucky. When I got that, the battery in the computer had to be changed 🙂
That is lucky. We had that happen once and my eyes are still watering from the bill.
I’m an obsessive backer-upper and saver of passwords… it has stood me in good stead over the years. I wish the rest of my life was this organised.
