The Ninth Strange Day

The home computer is dead again. Despite the repairs that Daffydd did. Now it’s failing to recognise the keyboard. Before it got to that point, though, it would start to open a program (or a file) and the screen would just go grey (the desktop colour - no icons, no menu bar, no response). Restarting the computer resulted in the “Keyboard not found” thing. It’s a new keyboard. I checked the connection. It worked before I restarted.

Conclusion: computer is dead. I was thinking about getting another notebook and then Kitti and I could both be totally portable, but if I get another tower I can put the new hard drive in the new computer. I could even move the DVD/CD drive over, since it’s fairly new.

Is anyone selling computers that DON’T come with Vista? Or should I just suck it up, get Vista, and then reinstall Windows XP?

Daffyd, Ken, Ken, Rob… I’m looking at all y’all first.

(Yes. I know. Windows = evil.)

I want to see a House MD/Being Human crossover, where George (the werewolf) is admitted and someone inevitably says “It could be Lupus” and then Mitchell (the vampire) cracks up laughing. Or House/Buffy-with-Oz. Or House/anything with a werewolf because dude. Come on.

A tiny chemical “brain” which could one day act as a remote control for swarms of nano-machines has been invented.

The molecular device - just two billionths of a metre across - was able to control eight of the microscopic machines simultaneously.

Writing in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists say it could also be used to boost the processing power of future computers.

Many experts have high hopes for nano-machines in treating disease.
