Interwebs, wooo!

On Saturday my internet stopped working. I thought it was a problem with my router or the network provider, but yesterday I tried the laptop and there the internet worked. So I worried that Windows was sabotaging my Windows 7 computer (in the past 2 weeks or so it's been regularly crashing after booting) and I'd have to buy a new one. I tried several things to solve the problem, but nothing worked. Then my mom came over with a new WLAN stick and it worked! Huh, didn't even suspect my WLAN stick to be the problem, because when I lost connection, the stick's light was still working. Only hours later it had gone out.

Phew, I'm really glad I don't need a new computer, because I need money for other things. A week and a half after the backpack oil spill I finally dared to take stock of its former contents. Most of the important stuff survived, but I need to replace my loyal camera of 11 years *sigh*. I already got a new backpack (for 80€, WTF? I swear last time I bought the same type it was 25% cheaper), but because of the lockdown there wasn't much choice, so it's a nondescript black one and I feel the need to decorate it.

Which is why I commissioned someone to draw me some fannish doodles, which I can then buy as buttons. I really don't want to pester her (I know, normal people have jobs and a social live and hobbies, so it'll take time), but I can't handle the anticipation, so it would be nice to know where she is in the process.
