Man, computer blues ain't nothing to F wit'.
So this weekend, in the middle of my usual housework/blogging/mopefest that usually occurs ... well, every weekend mostly, nowadays ... I was jotting down my ideas over Saturday's film when my comp's memory just decided that it had enough.
I'm rocking a 2000 model HP, with the only major additions to the thing being an 80G hard drive, maxed out memory to the tune of a whopping 254RAM, and a CD-RW drive made by Memorex. I'd gradually noticed how things have been slowing to a nigh-crawl in the past several months, and among some of the casualties were:
- my ability to start up Audacity, so that I could continue to keep the mixtape files alive;
- my ability to keep ANY image editing software open for more than a few moments at best;
- my ability to play ANY videogame for longer than a half hour (so bye bye, marathon Diablo sessions);
- my ability to run the internet faster than a constipated snail shits.
However, I'd been fortunate to be able to run the movie reviews. Granted, there'd been a few other things I'd like to have posted up well before now, but unfortunately, some were image driven (but can't make the images I want to); some were audio driven (but can't make the remix I want to); and so on ...
And this weekend, the computer finally decided to loose its bowels on the mattress beneath it.
However, this only puts me a little bit behind, but it doesn't count me out. I can still do much of the text stuff I was hoping to do, so that's not too bad. And once I get some routine access to my computer at work (yep, I'll be finishing some of this project from the office), I'll fill in some of the gaps.

That sucks about the PC. I was beginning to worry that you were being driven away by the recent political diatribes.
Oh no, on the contrary, what I've been able to follow, I love it. The political debates and discourse is one of my favorite aspects of our forum.
