So now I have two computers, which is fun, though I still tend to use my old one. Though the new one is luring me in with a Death on the Nile computer game which is remarkably hard to resist, considering that I know who the murderer is. But still, so far, I tend to use the old one, or both at once, which is of course a waste of electricity ( Read more... )

My computer is now back! The Acer has arrived too, but I couldn't take them both from the store at once, only having two arms, so I opted to have my old friend back first. Yay to having it back!

One of the first things I did was head over to Mark Watches to read the "City of..." review and all its comments, because Ats always will be a show ( Read more... )

The repairs on my computer aren't done yet (actually, I don't even know what's wrong yet), but I've ordered a new laptop at least, which is supposed to arrive on Thursday. Yay!

This is the model I ordered, based on some online reviews as well as your tips. The clerk said they don't sell a lot of Acer computers, but he looked at some other models ( Read more... )

My computer has broken AGAIN and is back in the repair shop. This is the second time in two months. I'm seriously considering getting a new one, though it's a pity about the brand-new hard drive ( Read more... )

My computer is back! Yaaay! Figures it happened just after I sent the revised Yuletide story to the betas ( Read more... )

Writing a note to let you all know that my computer broke Sunday night (disk error) and that the shop is looking at it, but that hard drives are evidently expensive and hard to come by right now. So I don't know when it'll be repaired, or indeed if it will (I'm contemplating getting a new one ( Read more... )

GeekGirlCon had a link on Facebook to Chrome's genderswap plugin Jailbreak the Patriarchy, which replaces gendered pronouns and other common words with that of the opposite sex. I plugged it in, and now my friends list are mentioning TV shows such as The Good Husband, American Mom, and Family Girl. (It couldn't handle Desperate Housewives, though ( Read more... )

So, my computer has been giving me all kinds of trouble lately (probably related to the time it spend in a freezing cold moving van), and since I'm now working full time I haven't got the time to get it sent in for repairs, not to mention that part of the problem is that it's now reeeeeallllly slooooow in things like making backup, and backup would ( Read more... )

I've read a whole bunch of books lately, and FFF has started, so obviously I should be making a post about books and films. Instead, here are some short snippets of thoughts ( Read more... )
