Apologies to regular visitors, I have been having some problems with my PC. The recent overheating issues appear to have done some serious damage to my hard disk which now occasionally screams like a banshee and the rest of the time it sounds like fingernails scratching across a blackboard.

I have decided to use the PC as little as possible until I can replace the disk, and add some hard core cooling. This is of course having an adverse affect on the frequency of my posts.

I've ordered some new hardware so I should be back to regular updates some time next week.
