A completely useless update...
So, my computer is no longer taking external power. That means that I have to rely on relatively unreliable battery power. Luckily, Bela's computer has a compatible battery, being as it's the same model, only three months newer. However, until I actually get my warranty activated properly (all kinds of problems), I'm using my computer, with my gmail, LJ, and Facebook only occasionally. Thusly, it's a little hard to get ahold of me.
