Feeling pretty chuffed with myself. Have made Silver in Authority and Organiser, and Gold in Participant all since last weekend - and only just now hit 10,000 total CP points.
I'm spending quite a bit of time here these days, since I can't work any more, and am now in the process of writing my next article (actually it will be a series of 3). Due to my brain injury, this is taking longer than it probably should, but hopefully they'll be up in within the next couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Mick

Have a couple from me! not being nosy or anything when you say brain injury nothing too serious I hope (I went down that route myself some years ago)
Just read your profile, tumor, sucks the big one

The tumour is benign and static, but it did manage to cause a couple of very minor strokes with its presence. As a result, my brain has become single-threaded. I've also had it described as my cache being broken, which is also quite an accurate analogy. All those little things you keep in the back of your mind when performing any task, I just can't any more. The bright side is that it's very quiet in there now.
Of course, all this does create some humorous results at times - like going out and locking the front gate before I exit it, or taking some movies back to the library and realising half way there that it may have helped if I brought the DVD's with me.
Been living with it for a couple of years now, so I've come to accept that this is how it is always going to be. In the meantime, I'm writing a movie collection DB, and as I come up with neat little things, I am posting them here. It takes me about 50x longer than it should to write anything, but hey, I don't have anything else to do.
Cheers,
Mick

I had a brain insult, I could breath for about 90 secs, middle of my A-levels so that was mucked up. Only real lasting affects my big toes are numb and my eyesight improved!

Single threaded. That reminds me of a story I read a few years ago. Not sure if its true but it went something along the lie that there was a Neuro Scientist (I think) or similar that was working out. During her workout she started having a stroke. Later she reflected on the experience and she realised she got to see some interesting parts on how her own mind worked. What I read described it as one half of our brain seems to work in parallel and the other in serial which is why certain tasks seems to correspond with activity in one half of the brain or the other.
Not really relevant but I couldn't help myself. Anyway good look, glad it wasn't malignant.

Went well, if you exclude a power fail during the "do not turn off your PC" phase.
Which may possibly have been Microsoft's fault if their Demonic Influence spreads to the weather (which would explain a lot). But I doubt that, and wish I'd got the UPS working, but since the couriers dropped it, it had to go back.
I was worried: I'd heard the stories of all-day-installation, bricking if you have multiple disks (I do, SDD and HDD), general dislike of drivers. And to have the power go out during the update itself? I was not filled with optimism.
But ... turn the PC on, and it automatically unwinds back to a working (pre AE) system.
Start the update again, and two hours later if finished and working in AE.
The start menu has changed - not too much, but I deleted all the Fisher Price tiles in the original anyway. And the stupid "Notifications" icon is permanently there instead of when there is new stuff - which is a little annoying, since it moves the time over about 1.5cm to the left, so I don't "see" it immediately.
Cortana still can't understand a word I say. Probably a good thing, given the profanity level that it defaulting to Edge despite being told that chrome is my default browser induces.
Other than that? Nothing bad has happened. Mind you, I don't see anything good either, but time will tell.

I'm going to have to break down and buy a prebuilt win 10 system just so i can run it into the ground trying different tweaks.then start over again.

I was quite pleased with the AE upgrade, no disaster, no observable change good or bad.

So that's how low we set the bar now?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

With Win10, that's a step up from Win 8 at least!

Win 7 --> Win 10 upgrade really broke the missus's and mine laptops. Mine was pretty old, hers about two years. In both cases it didn't have the alcatec network drivers, nor were they available for download. No real warning about the upgrade - shut it down at night, broken OS in the mroning. In the end it was a case of flatten the machine and re-install total PITA. I managed to opt mine out out of Windows 10. Didn't bother with herself's laptop as the re-installation happened after the free upgrade deadline. Weirdly, it upgraded itself again (once more without warning) but the networking seems to be OK this time.
Don't know how MS has gotten away with this stunt at all. Seriously considering becoming a Linux-only household.

I've tried installing it 5 times.
Each time it's taken over an hour, then rolled everything back when (I assume) it's near then end.
No explanation, no support link, nothing.
So if I can't get this update, how do I get future ones?
Thanks Microsoft...
