oh the net...
a helpful word or two from some stranger has shown me that the problem with my poor, broken PC is the capacitors on the motherboard... several of them are bulging upwards (just about visible on the pictures from the last post) which apparently means they're blown...
which in some possible version of the future means i can go to maplin in about 10 minutes, buy the correct kind of capacitors, fix it myself...
not a massive chance of success if i did try it but what can i lose? i need a new motherboard anyway if i can't fix it... computer fair tomorrow, in money again...
and then in other news i want to go to a gig tonight over in shepherds bush...
i have noone to go with... so it's possible i might wimp out...
one of my teaching students is in a band called own little world described on the flyer as alternative pop/rock, narco glam with acoustic roots, absinthe with both ears, sprawling and lush, intimate and jagged...
never heard them...
also on the bill are semble who i saw a few years ago at the turaya gathering that kyo played at... fantastic band... there's a quote from timeout on the flyer but you're not getting that... beautiful, still, finely honed... that's from me...
but if i'm going i'd better get my skates on... and maplin? capacitors?... increasingly unlikely...
