Yesterday was a damp, miserable day. Correction; no day is miserable if you’ve woken-up and feel reasonably healthy.
Weather wise, it was miserable so I hauled
out the old tap-top to see if updates were available so’s to be able to use it in the event of an emergency{?}.
Now this old, slow bit o’ kit won’t take Billy 11 so will only accept Billy 10 updates.
Plug in, turn on and check for updates. Yup, a bunch. A bunch? Started at nine thirty and it was all done by four-thirty in the afternoon.
You’ve probably noted this but it takes an age to download updates and
forever to install them. Installing slowly ticks along to about twenty odd percent then sits there for an hour or more. It then continues until it gives the frozen impression at seventy-four percent for another hour or so
plus. The really annoying freeze? Sitting there at one hundred percent complete... for close to a further hour. Seems to me those smart script kiddies still haven’t got a proper grip on that percentage countdown thingy
yet.
Anyhoo, all done and put away to await an emergency. An emergency that will most likely be down to Billy at the Window and his script kiddies.
