Dead, deader, my computer...
Oh dear me, what a day...
Me and peting73 had a good plan for today... We really did.
Then when I was to check my twitter with breakfast this morning... my computer went belly up. It died. No, scratch that, it didn't even react to anything at all. :-/ We couldn't start it or anything. No matter what peting73 did, he couldn't get it to wake up. So. It died. 5 years I had that computer. Got it as a gift from peting73 when I turned 30. We've changed the graphics card in it once, but that apparently didn't help. According to peting73, it was most likely the motherboard AND parts of the hard-drive that went and died on me. Fuck.
Considering we are working on re-doing our apartment, buying a new computer was NOT in the budget. And we kinda HAVE to re-do parts of the apartment. There is nothing else to do there...
And me? Well, my economy is fucked as always (it's been since I was a student). I got a good salary this month, but I had a ton of old bills to pay, so... :-/ And what does hubby do? Just goes online to see where there is good computers... Picks one out that he knows will be good for me. (He knows what I am doing online and such, after all...) And then goes buy it. No complaints, just comments that if I don't have one, I'll go crazy. And he'd prefer me not-crazy.
Gawd, I love that man SO MUCH!
I hope I'll get a good salary next month to. I'll pay him back. As much as I can at least. So much love for him.
So now I am trying to get used to a new computer. Gladly I update my bookmarks with regularity on MyBookmarks.Com and I have a external HD that I have named Frenchie, since it is a french brand, LaCie. I always make sure to copy all my files to Frenchie at least once a week. So I didn't lose that much. Thank gawd... And nearly no bookmarks either. So awesome.
My new computer is an Asus computer. ASUS CM6730-NRCH45. It is a really cute little computer, really good one. Half as big as peting73s, in size. And not as powerful as his either, but then again. He got one of those crazy monster gamer-computers. The only game I play is World of Warcraft, and it doesn't require quite as powerful a computer. :-) Good parts with playing a game that's been around for 7 years... ;-)
So I named my computer Sweetie, since it looks so small and sweet next to peting73s. X-D So we got The Friendly Monster and Sweetie in the nerdcorner. X-D
Still feel somewhat guilty about my computer dying, even if it isn't that much I could have done about it... Still I do. :-P It was just really shitty timing, is all.
