Computer woes
Um, there are pictures.
Just not on this computer.
Found out two days ago that no, Acer can not fix my computer because somehow, I fried the entire motherboard. And I’m not using the word “fried” because it sounds cool; there were literally burn marks on the panel. Oops. WTF?
The good news is, the hard drive’s data is easily recovered, as it didn’t suffer too much damage. I’ll be claiming my singed laptop, and using a friend’s casing to pull the data onto a portable HDD.
It certainly pisses me off, though. I still have a working computer, but it’s a monstrous mixture of pimp video card + processor, and shit power supply + RAM. With this news of my laptop, I think I’ll definitely invest the 100 bucks ro so to fix my PC up so it runs more smoothly.
But wait. People read this for knitting.
Tongiht I caved and bought my yarn for the Rogue hoodie. KnitPicks Wool of the Andes. Cheaper, with shipping and exchange, than buying the equal amount of Cascade 220 in stores locally. Win. I’m getting the Mist colorway. I’m considering this a birthday gift to myself, since it’s scheduled to arrive the week after my birthday sometime. yes. That excuses it entirely. Yes.
Also working on a scarf for Matt, and trying to resist temptation to make the Doctor Who scarf a summer project.
Hrrr.
I found your site on technorati and read a few of your other posts. Keep up the good work. I just added your RSS feed to my Google News Reader. Looking forward to reading more from you.

WTF, how did it get fried? Man, that sucks. Is there anything we can do for you?

Well if you are going to try to knit the Doctor Who scarf in summer, at least don’t make the mods that my honey did. He decided to make it wider than recommended (since he’s a big guy) and to make it ribbed, so it was even more stitches to get the width he wanted… but it is a nice squishy warm scarf.
