Ok, that’s it. I’m gonna carry on numbering the days until I complete the 30 Day Challenge. It took Asbjorn 88 days to get his first sale in 2005, but he did it in the end. And so will I!
It will take as long as it takes, but I ain’t giving up. So the title of this post may look ridiculous, but I don’t care.
Spent the morning visiting the local computer shops getting advice, after my PC has become corrupted. I’d love to build myself the meanest, baddest PC possible for as little cost as poss, but that may be slightly too adventurous just yet. I’ll make my first ten bucks through the 30DC first, before I commit to learning how to do that.
For now, I need to totally reformat my existing hard drive. Gaurav at Microsoft has promised to ring me back on Monday to talk me through it. He was prepared to stay on the phone way past his home time, but in India they don’t get paid overtime, so I wasn’t having that!
Reformatting means I’ll probably lose a lot of software, but it’s my own fault, for not backing up the installation files. Only this week did I learn about that. I’ve been deleting those files as soon as I’ve installed the software in many cases. Dipstick!
The good news is that several of my program files will have the installation files included, so I’ve copied all of them onto the external hard drive, in the hope that most of them will work on the new Operating System.
The other good thing is that a lot of my software was free online – no NOT dodgy pirate stuff, I don’t get involved with those, but reputable sites, I can go to again. And all the programs I’ve paid for, I either have the CDs or the emailed receipts, so I should be able to download them again. Never delete your emails with receipts on, people! And if they’re for your business, always print them out, of course.
I even managed to do some 30DC work as well. Not much, but I finally put my tracking link in place of my affiliate link on my two main sites, and they appear to be working beautifully. Seen that tutorial video three times now – twice before I did the task myself, and once simultaneously. Wow, a six syllable word on a Saturday night!
