Last night’s Celtic Connections concert – Frigg and Fiddlers’ Bid. Absolutely superb, both on form (though Maurice missing from the Bid, festering with flu in Shetland, so the stories weren’t quite up to standard!). Some good tunes need to be added to the Scandi Session list!

I have no idea how long it will persist!
Windoze 10
Well – I’ve finally managed to convince my Windows system to update itself. I’ve been trying for a while – since they stopped supporting the version I had running.
I have Windows 10 dual-booted with Linux, and to be honest the Windows system doesn’t get used very often – but it seemed it wanted to update to the latest version to keep security updates coming. Several times I tried and got the truly helpful “Something has gone wrong” diagnostic. I guessed it needed more space, as when I cleaned out disk space to make room for the update process, the disk space available actually reduced – eh? – and I realised it was grabbing what it could to fit in stuff for the update.
However today I had to remove games from the second partition on the SSD to make even more room before it was able to install the update. I was even going to shrink that partition and increase the “C:” one (so amazingly daft that DOS is still effectively there as a memory!) but it said it didn’t have room to do that either! Anyway, it just grabbed the free space in the games partition and finally the upgrade succeeded – so I now have Windows 10 Creators Update, version 1709, for whatever good it will do me.
I have ordered another 1Tb drive to use as the games partition.
I hate Windoze!
