Disaster!

My computer (aka Teh Box of Rock) is in the shop, so I hope you’ll forgive me for not reading your site every day. Actually I’m quite distraught about it - not only because she housed my TV and music and the latest draft of my thesis, but because she is such a good computer. A near-bottomless pit of ram and processor power, armed to the teeth with pirate software. Darn it. She will probably need a new P4 chip, so I’ll have to forget that ivory backscratcher for the moment.

Last time I try to clean the heatsink with one of those cotton-wool ear cleaner things.

  3. I feel for you. I’m being worked like a mofo [damn to hell the person who implanted that one in my vocabulary] at the moment and am not getting nearly enough internet time. Oh right, not relevant; must have just needed a rant.

  6. What a co-incidence. I’ve been without my work computer since Monday morning. It’s currently being “rebuilt”. Must be in the stars…
