It seems that the Internet managed to get along just fine in my absence. I took a sunlamp to the gremlins plaguing my computer (I’m dating myself with that reference) and I’m once again bathing in the screen’s comforting blue glow. A big thanks to my friend Derek for helping me swap motherboards and get everything back in working order, all for the very reasonable price of a six-pack of Newcastle. You won’t find that kind of deal from Geek Squad. Best of all, I didn’t even have to reinstall Windows. I was dreading spending all of this evening staring at progress bars and downloading patches. But I think I’m going to do a data backup just on general principles.
Anyway, it’s good to be blogging again. I’ve felt a bit cut off over the last few days. Somehow, talking to myself isn’t as satisfying as putting words to screen.
