What the hell is it with the clock on this computer. I've reset it twice today FFS.

Dr Who would be pleased.

Nope, but someone I know did and e-mailed me.

I would have thought so, though the machine hasn't been switched off. Strange.

I thought you were just joking about the clock resetting business...

<Geek mode> Install Automachron (http://oneguycoding.com/automachron) and set it up to synch with a
stratum 2 time server (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html) on a regular basis.

It's been rather eccentric since the house got struck by lightning last summer. It crashes every
five minutes too.

Cool! I wish I had an eccentric PC - kind of an electronic soul mate, but as it is, I just have one
that refuses to play or load CD's for me, but worked perfectly before.

Shaun aRe - wasn't that interesting?....

If I could choose, I'd go with AMD any day.

Shaun aRe called a priest one time, he hung up when I mentioned his mother.

It would be nice if it was eccentric in a fun way - maybe if it wore silly hats, sang showtunes
or called people "fruit" - but sadly it's eccentric in a rather tedious, predictable way with
BSOD, freezing and occasional clunking sounds (I know, I know), asides from the aforementioned
timelord tendency.

I have thought about calling a priest but not convinced it'll work as most AMD powered machines are
atheists IME.
