M is for Microsoft are Wankers!

Hotmail-call-me-outlook have blocked my account claiming I've overdrawn my data limit (there is nothing about data-limits in my most recent T&C's upgrade - last autumn), clearly pissed off that I deleted all their cloud stuff on the new laptop they have been trying to get me to sign-up to 'upgrade my account' and 'get the latest premium features', neither of which I have any intention of doing!

Anyway, until I sort it out after the bank-holiday, with a rude letter, I will have to use my mirror account, as they have blocked receiving as well as sending? Something some of you will have to look forward to when you upgrade to Windows11!

So, maverickatlarge[at]Gmail[dot]com - which has a 15GB limit against the 5G Hotmail are blubbing about!

 And check your spam if you were expecting an eMail from me!

H is for Heeeeerererereerssss Hughy!

I'm back, typing letters about three points fucking tall! You get the biggest screen you can and they reduce the graphics by 50%. I fucking hate Hewlett Packard and I fucking hate Microsoft and I fucking hate technology! Three fucking codes to my 'phone in the last half hour, just to get to stuff which has been mine for years!

Couldn't comment on anyone's Blog because the despicable duo wouldn't let me open the Excel spreadsheet I put all my passwords in, as the Lenovo was dying (China be fucked - I wish I'd bought another Lenovo! The price of principle is some Western piece of shit - which was probably made in China anyway - no spyware but no usefulware either!), or at least; not without paying for Windows365 and some other shit I don't need because A) I don't want my life 'on the cloud' and B) I have a perfectly good Office disc somewhere, which I've already paid for - Bastard Microsoft bastards!

And everything's still on the Backup hard-drive, so I won't post much beyond rants about fucking Hewlett Packard and fucking Microsoft for a while longer, but I'm about to try loading the later version of Picasa (3.9) than I've been using for the last fourteen years, so we'll see how that goes!

Hoping to go to the Spring gift fair at NEC Birmingham tomorrow, still got all the Kensington Olympia stuff from Toy Fair on an SD card, along with a bunch of other stuff so I'll have 'some' output in a day or so, and there are three press releases from Barny and a new PW out there!

Most bookmarks restored and I managed to make a payment with Paypal (which hasn't been working for a year or two), so some benefits to a new machine . . . new anonymity!

Had a chat with matey in Rymans and he had the same thing, the first thing you have to do with these new laptops is delete and/or uninstall three-quarters of the shit that comes with it (MacAfee is shit, get Avira free and bin MacAfee!), and then you find there's nothing useful there, I can't even open zip-files with the software I DO need until I've downloaded WinZip or similar, if I had a machinegun there would have been a bloodbath somewhere in the last two weeks, not Macky-D's, somewhere full of authority figures is where!

E is for Effing Microsoft Again!

Sorry for the lack of a new post this past few months, but I'm without a computer so have to snatch the odd moment on other peoples! Normal service will be resumed in a few weeks . . .hopefully!!! I have answered a couple of outstanding comments...and have lots of lovely new acquisitions to share when I can start uploading images again.

Whoops!

No not snow! I had the blue screen of death last week, she's up and running again and normal service should be resumed tomorrow!

Today potted-out Broad Bean and Sunflower seens, prepared pots for Tomato seeds (from last years tomatoes) and sorted the greenhouse and tool shed, and got snowed-on a lot!
