If I don't laugh I'm going to cry.
Within 24 hours not only have I lost an item that took me an entire month to get on Neopets due to a glitch, but the primary computer is broken. Why is the primary computer broke? Because of an internet explorer update! The OS won't load (WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME SAFEMODE?) and the diagnostics I ran (F12 FTW) indicate that whatever happened to the software there is no way in hell I'm going to be able to fix it myself. So we'll take it to the shop tomorrow.I think I'm a little closer to pulling my grandmother over to the firefox side of the force. I'd rather bomb IE from orbit than use it on a computer.
Thankfully I hadn't yet changed any of the internet defaults on that computer's predecessor. So I can get online, but not much because I'd happily put my fist though any computer right now. It was a stroke of luck that happybox and boomstick weren't connected when the computer got borked.
The trip to New Jersey is going to be a disaster. An epic disaster. I'm leaving at 4am on wed. and things are already going wrong.
You know what? I don't fucking care anymore.
LBC, if I die my hard green notebook has a list of passwords. Could you tell the people in my E-address book that I'm dead if I die? I don't have high hopes for the outcome of this trip.

I discovered firefox right after the second time my black computer went down. The first time was System Pack 2 and a copy of DOS BOX, but the second time was from IE letting a hell of a lot of malware through. I've hardly had a problem since, and I love the Add-ons.

Date: 2007-09-16 05:24 am (UTC)Hmmm. If the places you're staying has internet access, I can let you borrow my hp laptop to keep you from boredom.
Which fanart? I did so many, but never sat down to revise them.
My mycon, let me show you it.
Date: 2007-09-16 05:54 am (UTC)"Lets be friends!" :D
Oh and I sent the supox/Pkunk guy an E-mail asking if he still wants the files. Still no answer tho.
Re: My mycon, let me show you it.
Date: 2007-09-16 06:06 am (UTC)Ohhhh, THAT one! I just hope my scanner will cooperate with me...
Let me know if he does reply.
And your icon! Hahaha! After all, Mycon is pronounced as icon, right?
Mycon icon?
Date: 2007-09-16 06:27 am (UTC)Me too.
I will, I kinda hope he goes all "NO! You left me hanging and I never ever want to hear your voice!" Because my throat feels like I swallowed sandpaper. I tried finishing last night and hooboy. I said one sentence and damn near went into a coughing fit.
Apparently seaworld is a baaaad place for me.YES!
Re: Mycon icon?
Date: 2007-09-16 07:18 am (UTC)Oh, he better reply! If he goes to high school, what does he do on weekends? Think naughty things about female-sounding Ur-quans?
I'll see if I can upload it on sunday afternoon/evening. I'll be going to bed in a few minutes.

The internetStar Control is for porn!How about this, if you upload your pic before I finish that fic I'll give Angel a bath and a trim every month until New Years day. BUT if I'm done before you are, you have to help me trim Kali's claws every month until New Years... Sound good? The odds are in your favor!
