Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
So I wake up this morning and turn on my computer. Blue screen. Corrupt registry.
This isn't the first problem with this machine recently either. I've been getting "Unknown hard error"s for quite a few days, the computer has been hanging randomly - I've felt that the hard drive was on the way out. But what the hell?
