ellarien: laptop (Computers)
[personal profile] ellarien
I ended up spending the afternoon and evening cleaning up and defragging the Behemoth laptop, which lately had been taking approximately forever to start. I needed to clear 15% on the 15Gb system partition to let the defrag tool do its thing properly, and that took some doing; I ended up blowing away a bunch of unused software, and then digging around for well-hidden installation and temporary files, to get that far. Once the defragmentation ran, suddenly it was up to 24% free, and it does seem to be running a bit faster now.

I don't know if I deleted a cookie that was doing something that can no longer be reproduced by normal means, or what, but suddenly LJ is sending me to the home page -- where I have no wish to go, pretty much ever -- when I log in, instead of leaving me on whatever site page I logged in from. The stay-at-home machines stay logged in anyway, but the work laptop doesn't, and I shall be mildly annoyed if this behavior persists. (I shall try not to be paranoid about the way the first version of this paragraph got eaten when I hit a wrong key and had to 'restore saved draft'.)
