Being laid up and off work with a mystery illness is not my idea of fun but it did give me the chance to rebuild and clean my PC, format the hard drive and do a clean, clean, clean install of Windows 2000 Professional. Man, I'd forgotten that I had a 12Gb hard drive with the amount of old cack that was on there.
This spring clean, combined with my new Speedtouch modem and ADSL service, makes for a nice swift online experience compared to the crawl of months gone by.
However, my contrary laziness is not completely banished because I preferred to muck about with Analog X's ATS (Atomic Time Sync) and nnSoft's nnCron to keep the right time rather than replace the shagged CMOD battery. Likewise, my online activities are still carried out to the whine and drone of a power pack fan which has seen better and more silent days. Well, I'll need something to do when I'm next ill, won't I?
