My free AVG (anti-virus) updates everyday, but lately, the updates require a restart of the computer for them to take effect. If I tell it to wait, then the software pouts and shuts down. I then run without a cyber-condom, until I re-start.

No big deal to re-start, but I hate being in the middle of a six or eight hour fractal render when it comes up.

 

Try shutting down your email client (and possibly other communications software) while updating. I think there's a shared DLL that is bothering you.

I hate restarting my computer, because sometimes it doesn't start properly and something steals focus from the Taskbar, so no more what I try I can't click anything on the Taskbar. Just a stupid "dunt" noise. I can click on the Start Button though... Fat lot of good that does me I rarely use it. Or the Desktop. My Taskbar is my control centre.

But there is nothing wrong with Vista, right?

There's a car alarm outside that's bugging me.  I can never open my windows on a nice day and air the place out without having to put up with car alarms, lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, hammering and a constant stream of traffic that's all of 10 metres from where I sit.  The whole house shakes whenever heavy vehicles pass by too, which is quite frequently.

Try living next to a railway.

How frequent are the trains?  The cars are passing at a rate of about 1 every 10 seconds at the moment, and this is at 20:30.  At busy times of the day, there's a more or less constant stream of them, punctuated by the occassional bus or truck.

There's one every ten or fifteen minutes. The worst are the heavy ones that pass some time after midnight.

But I guess you get used to almost everything. There are compensations.

Outside here there is the constant hiss of traffic in the distance the railway is about a mile away but I hear that too.  Pile on top of that a airport and a helicopter factory within 5 miles it can get down right noisy outside

Damn it! One of the kids at 1:45am decided to go to the toilet and throw up from both ends but somehow managed to get none in the actual toilet.

So guess who had to clean it up...

There is never enough mind bleach.

Next time throw it in the bath with some Bon Ami and leave it to soak.

I think I'll read that as "get in the bath with a bong and a vodka and just soak"

That reminds me of the time my daughter threw up something that looked like red Powerade on the carpet in the living room and then all the way up the stairs while she was trying to get to the bathroom.

That was gross to clean up too.

Yuck! Bet it was red cordial or something. That stuff would be hard to get out, especially if it were shag pile......

It wasn't shag carpet, but it was very hard to get the stain out, especially on the stairs.

Wish this dull headache would fuck off. Since its mostly child-inspired I'm not expecting it to depart until after they bugger off to bed in six hours.

Hate those things. No amount of anything gets rid of 'en either, whether it's Codeine or any other painkiller. Hope it goes soon....
