Well, I've got a confession. I'm not really that big a tech geek. Maybe just a bit of a nerd but same difference.

I used to be really into PCs, like over 10 years ago when I first got my desktop PC. Always fiddling around with stuff.

I guess when I stopped being a big PC gamer a few years ago, that gradually fell by the wayside but I'm still handy with computers!

Anyway...

I've applied for a computing tech support course at my local college as a means to getting me fully back on the road to recovery since jobs are out the picture for a few months at least. I guess it'll act as a step to getting myself out & about as well as updating my CV if nothing else.

Sort of reinvigorated my interest in tech stuff!

I've just tried my first Linux distro (Mint) via a bootable USB flash drive. Very new & shiny! I like how customizable everything is but of course right I lose any changes when I restart my laptop.

Right now I am just making a Windows 10 bootable flash drive for recovery purposes. I always thought it was strange laptops stopped coming with discs for the OS but now I guess I know why!

I'm thinking of putting Linux Mint on my laptop too so I can dual boot. Ever so slightly wary in case I screw up my laptop but I'm doing as much research as I can to make sure that doesn't happen.

So, what tickles the fancy of any of you who are technophiles?
