jadesfireHow's everyone doing? It's been kind of quiet on the flist of late, so I hope that's just because everyone is super-busy, not because the ground's fallen out from under your feet, Ike or no Ike.
We're off to visit a vineyard today. In Oxfordshire. It's slightly surreal but cool too. Full report when we get back. Since I don't drink, I'm taking my little laptop and am going to bash out my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
artword fic (at last!). The battery should just about last long enough...
Speaking of the laptop, any Linux experts out there? Can anyone translate the help forum for me? . The Acer runs Linpuslite, which is easy for noobies like me, but after I installed the updates the first time I turned it on, it's had boot-up issues. It will turn on eventually, but it spends waaaaay too long on the blue Acer screen. I found this thread in the users forum, which describes my problem too, but since the phrase "BIOS re-flash" means absolutely nothing to me, I'm still kind of stuck... Could anyone put this in English for me? Please? *begs* I'm considering sending it back as faulty, which I really don't want to do, but if it's not going to turn on reliably, I think I'd rather have one that would!
I'm posting my Big Bang promo tomorrow, so any more questions from anyone? I know not many people have read it, but some of you have! Anything at all? I'll answer anything (within reason ;))
Do drop in to say hi. I've got another 3 days at home on my own after this, and I'm starting to think I'll either smother or murder![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
major_jim if I don't talk to people a bit more ;)
