We seem to be experiencing technical difficulties...
... and crap like I've never seen!
Hey, there's still at least half a dozen people who haven't unfriended me for being idle, or whatever. :D
Apologies for the lack of screenings in the b-grade cinema lately. All is well, more or less, I'm not dead, and I haven't forgotten about LJ. I've just gotten ridiculously behind due to a few issues with my computer, and its refusal to work.
I've been experiencing random crashes that didn't happen in Safe Mode, so I figured it was a software issue. I just did a clean XP install, formatted and re-partitioned and whacked Windoze right on the bare metal. Installed my motherboard drivers, check, sound card drivers, check, video card drivers,
...
Bollocks.
So it appears I have a vidcard that's not worth the PCB it's printed on, since it won't bloody work the minute I load the drivers for it. Not sure how to get around this short of buying a brand new one - which isn't really worth doing seeing as I have a dodgy old configuration with an AGP slot for graphics, and the $200-odd I'd spend on a vidcard could go towards a new system instead...
Anywho. I'll pop in now and then, but until I have a fully functional computer I'm not sure how often.
Over 'n out,
