The insanely boring life…

Well, today was Saturday…..yes…as the tiel suggests. Nothing really happened.

I receaved my monthly magazine in the mail today (PCFormat) aswell as a CD which the Mark Shuttelworth Foundation sent me. Yeah. That guy that was like the first african in space or something. He invented an open source antivirus thing…i think……so he became a billionaire when some rich guy bought it from him…so much for open source.

The CD just contains a few apps like OpenOffice and all that jazz. They give the CD out for free. You put your postal address in the form, and within 6 weeks, you have the CD. I must say that this service is only currently availible for South Africa. And soon they will start giving linux CD’s out for free. So, you can visit the site at: www.go-opensource.org

I also saw that movie Hitch today with Mia and another friend. It was simply HILARIOUS! I am going to write a Harry potter fan fiction based on that.

Yesterday I saw Phantom of the Opera again with my granparents. they thought it was brilliant. Again, it is one of those movies you must see at least once in your life……so…enjoy yours!

BYE!

Well, you all know Mia. She FINALLY has her own Diary! YAY! I put the link in my Links section to the right! So, hope you like it. Just a note (and warning): The site is EXTREMELY pink…

Hello Everybody!

Ok, I have bad news. Virtual Hogwarts broke! I dont know what happened! I really dont know! Every user was suddenly declared inactive. I dont really know why. When I say every user, i include myself. So, I cannot log in, no one can log in! It is an apocilypse!

Oh Well…..Oh, I have got a decent picture of me…kinda… If you want to see. Beware….Before you look, I got glasses a few days ago. Yeah, I am…um…i forgot the word…but in short i cannot see far away. Which I though was obsurd, but when I put on my new glasses, a whole new world opened up to me! Anyway, I look a bit formal in that pic, also I edited it a bit. Just a little glow and a little blur. It always looks so nice…well…to me at least! >:) I am wearing my school clothes. Which include a white short, a gold and blue tie, but I dont have the dark blue and gold blares on.

Well, now on to other subjects…

In the long time i didn’t post, I watched several movies. And I saw one movie which will from now on be my favorite movie in the WORLD!
The Phantom of the Opera. EVERYONE must see this movie at least once in their life. I ma talking about the 2004 version of that movie, of course. I saw it only in 2005. We get all the movies two months later….

Oh, and if any Virtual hogwarts student is reading this, a little announcement:

Ok, now I will explain everything. Why I never posted for sucha long time. So, be warned, this is a LONG post.

It all started a few weeks ago when I thought that it would be cool to swithc to Linux Mandrake 10.1. I was getting tired of Windows, and it was not letting me form it into my will. So, I bought Linux (yeah, i know its free to download, but i did not have the time).

I formatted my computer, and installed Linux, which took about two hours. It worked, except i could not go on the internet, which is what i needed to do quie badly to get anything to work.

The modem was not supported by Linux. So, I went and bought a new modem. yay. But, when i put the modem into my computer, it said tat Linux dos not support this modem. Now, I was getting irretated. I got my money back for te modem, and I went to a place and asked if they have modems that will work with Linux. They told me that there was no modem that is in South Africa that will work with it.

I was furious, they had only told me now. I was really getting irretated. Now, my only hope was to install windows again. So, i formatted my computer again. (I have formatted my computer many times before). When I was done, i put he hard drive back into the computer, and it would not boot up.

So, i took it to a place, and was told by several people that the mother board had given in due to static electricity. Now, I was worries. By this time, my rich uncle had come to visit, and he bought me a new motherboard. The mother board did not fit in my old computer box, so I had to buy a new one. Now I have a black one, mind you. Anyway, so he bought the new box, and put the motherboard in, and it still did not work.

We thought that then it was in fact not the motherboard, that had given in, but the CPU. The most expensive part of the PC. I was now REALLY getting woried. We took it in for an assesment, and it turned out i only plugged one cabe in the wrong place.

Then I thought, well, since i am on a buying spree, I might as well buy a new hard drive and 256 MB of ram. (now i have a 400 BG hard drive and 512 MB ram). So, I installed Windows, and voilla! Now I am back where I was before the incedent, whith only a very thinner wallet.

The end.

I will try to post on a regular basis from now on.
