things are going good here.  J and i did dinner, a Wal-Mart run (too much fun with two people), and some Fullmetal Alchemist on Tuesday.  last night, she threw an end of semester party.  sadly, many people couldn't make it, but that just meant more Baked Alaska for the rest of us (J is the kitchen goddess).  we also had a cake that i frosted with

[ecogryff]

yes! evil fuzzies! reminds me, though; i should really clean the fuzzies off my home computer. bleh.

Get dem fuzzies!!

Oh yes, when it comes to cleaning my pc (which isnt often!) i go mental with them fuzzies!! once i *totally* stripped my keyboard, just to get the blighters!

TIP: if you are cleaning the pc fan by removing it, make sure theprocessor is NOT stuck to the bottom of it!! It has a habit of being pulled out, and we all know what a bugger it is putting *those* things back in (or is it just me?).

Nice one on the grades, too!! :O)

yeah, i'm considering taking my laptop apart to de-fuzzy / de-crumb her. but i think i'm too chicken to actually do it.

but poor Louise (who is nice and fuzz free now), does not qualify as a PC. if it says anything, she has three fans! and i have no idea how to take them out, so i think i'm safe from accidentally yanking the processer. : )

i don't think i've had that problem with Caleb either, but then he's mostly a waste of space in a metal box. but i've never pulled his processor,so i have no idea if it's hard to put back. of course, i think it's dying at this point, so i may find out soon! : P

fuzzy monsters!

I tried to open up my laptop (remember, it was nearly buggered [a technical term!] when i got it) - undid all the screws i could see, but couldnt prise the blasted thing open... really didnt want to force anything in case i *really* messed it up!

Kinda assuming need to take the screen bit off first, but dont need to "operate" on it (yet!) so ill save that till its dying! :O)

ps... if you have never installed a processor into a motherboard, then ill tell you now.. its a *very* delicate job and a pain in the ass!!!!

try to find a piccy of the underside of a processor (pentium, athalon - makes no difference), and try to count the pins! you will see what i mean!

oh, i've played with disassembled motherboards and loose processors. i've just never tried to put them back together! hehe.
