This has been a bad month...
« on: April 18, 2010, 04:37:31 AM »
First my video card craps out on me, then my Ethernet card dies.

Now my monitor won't start up, and it turns out that it's a design flaw regarding the capacitors in the power supply. And wouldn't you know it, my warranty just expired a few months ago.  :suicide:

Luckily, a company in New Orleans posted a do-it-yourself fix that my brother in law says he can do for me. But alas, he's leaving tomorrow for a trip to Washington D.C. for a week, so I'm using my bedroom LCD television in the interim as my monitor. I thought it would be cool to have such a large monitor for a computer screen, but I''m now starting to feel like this...



Sometimes, I really hate my computer.  :surrender:

A voice said to me: "Smile and be happy! Things could be worse!"
So I smiled and was happy.
And things got worse.

I have a friend who looks at life as half full, I bought him a coffee mug that says "Life Sucks and Then You Die".

Life is a lemon and I want my money back.

I've seen a glass like that. Has a marker at the mid-point and says "This glass is now half-empty"...

As written in the film I'm currently watching and it doesn't happen often that something I watch fit in a discussion ;D
