Doesn't it drive you *fucking crazy*? It sure does drive me crazy. Case in point: I'm quite fond of art gallery sites. Things like DeviantArt, where artists can put up little public archives of their works- although I'm years behind on my DA watchlist because the site is obnoxious as all hell and sometimes virus-laden, but that's beside the point.

I got kinda sick about this being mainly a platform for my complaints about the happenings in my life. But when you take those away, what do I have left to talk about?

Things I want to buy, that's what!

I've had a growing desire to build a new desktop PC for the last few months. Among the various reasons is the fact that this one's reached the limits ( Read more... )

Well, the 19th has come and gone. Unsurprisingly, I still don't have my DSL turned back on. I thought it was for a simple enough reason, that being that they never actually got around to re-disconnecting the voice line that they inexplicably re-connected after I told them that I didn't want them to bother and to just give me a dry loop DSL-only ( Read more... )

The current obnoxiousness is a continuation from my last post about my issues with Verizon. While I got my DSL back within a couple hours after making the emergency payment, my ( Read more... )

Just lie back and think of England.

I seem to have picked up a particularly invasive and tenacious virus on my laptop. It's just over a year old, so something like this was bound to happen.

( Oh, look. More shit to deal with. )

Since it's warm enough to work without gloves on today (and I'm no longer running around in Xmas mode), I spent some time getting the car cleaned up and evaluated a bit. The side mirror is in surprisingly good shape- aside from a couple cracks with deer hair stuck in 'em on the casing, the majority of it's perfectly fine. The adjustment motor still ( Read more... )

It's amazing how the damn things'll invariably run in front of a moving car. They can't manage to duck around the back or something, can they? Saw the stupid bugger bounding across the hill as I came around the curve, but then it just leaped over the snowbank and right into my path. Swerved halfway into the other lane, but the idiot tried to race ( Read more... )
