I recently, as in 'two days ago', faced the blue screen of death. A reformat of my hard drive beckoned. I've had to do this many times before. I dare say I'll have to do it many times again. This time wasn't terribly traumatic. Time consuming, yes. Traumatic, no. Traumatic would be the time I … Continue reading Welcome to WordPress
I tried, really I tried. But I just couldn't quite completely, irrevocably fall in love with Zoren.It had it's plus points. But it was just too cumbersome, bloated and space-wasting. We had to part.
