Cut Off
From the outside world.
My computer died yesterday. Just up and keeled over. No system crash, no error message, no nothing. It just stopped sending information to the monitor, mouse, tablet, and keyboard. It took me nearly a full minute to shut it down manually and then when I tried to turn it back on, it made a series of clicking noises befiore the fan finally stopped whirring and it refused to start up at all. There's a current going thru the system, i can hear the electric buzzing noise, and the lights are on, but absolutely NOTHING happens.
Called 2 tech-savvy friends and they both agreed it sounds like a power supply issue. My nephew built the damn thing but he doesn't have the time to go up to Ware and run a diagnostic this week. He's going to be helping me move this weekend, so MAYBE I can get him to take it into his care or at least look at it and see what I can do.
So needless to say, I'm not going to be reachable except by phone for the forseeable future... I'm currently making use of Mom's computer and doing laundry, and I wish to all that's unholy she'd at least let me take this fucking laptop for the week. But nooooooo.... That'll never happen >:/
So yeah. Email and LJ will be checked from either mom's house or from the House of J's once I get my stuff moved in there. No IM's, no music, no art, no downloads, nothing else. This is worse than not having internet access, since at least then I could still listen to my music and work on my art work and writings.
Hope to be back soon. Keep the 'net warm for me.
