Waiting for boot.wim

Any minute now.         Update 1: It looks like a lot of people are having the same issue. Try to search Twitter and you’ll see. My guess is that I have not yet been authorized to install, so therefore we wait a little while longer. My daughter seems a little impatient though. Update 2: Yeah, so I decided that the boot.wim issue would not get resolved anytime soon, I went with the ISO option for installing Windows 10 on my daughter’s PC. Now her machine has more or less imploded, so it will be a while before...

New shoes

So, I finally got around to buying myself another pair of running shoes. I got a brand new pair in October last year and I decided I wanted another pair, so I have two pairs to switch between.

Garmin Forerunner 310XT not uploading

Netflix error W8156-C00D717F on Windows 8.1

File this one under “Works on my machine”. Some week ago my old Zune software stopped working as did the Netflix app on Windows 8.1.

A quick download and a longer install process has solved the problems, so if you run into this error...

New phone

No, I didn’t get an iPhone. I got a Lumia 930 instead and so I decided to stick with Windows phone a while longer. This is the nicest phone I have ever played around with. Hands down. And with the Denim update it runs so nice I can’t put it down. This is the best purchase in a very long time. More later I’m sure.
