Okay, I confess. I didn't go walking today because I was working obsessively on my laptop upgrade. It's mostly finished now - I've learned a few lessons in the process by the way:
- Make sure you get the right type of memory, don't just guess that any old SODIMM will do.
- If you clone your NT4 operating system to another partion on the same disk, make both versions think that their own partition is the C drive. This requires messing around in disk administrator and about three reboots, but it's necessary. Otherwise, when you uninstall software in the second version it just messes up both copies.
- Write your CD Key on a sticky notepaper and put it some place where you can read it easily.
- You have to uninstall Nero before you run the operating system upgrade.
Note to David and other zealots: Yes I am going to install Linux as well eventually, not this week though.
So anyway, here's another picture from yesterday's walk in Spicer Park. It's a view of part of the park, looking down from Orientalis Way. I'm rather pleased with this one, I think I'll use it as wallpaper on the laptop and it might remind me to go walking.
