bring back my notebook from the dead (read all 3 entries…)
Jinxed? 2 years ago

Lightning fried the ethernet port on my home PC earlier this afternoon. I had enough sense to work on my office database and not a spreadsheet, thus data loss was minimal. If not, I’d lose a few hours worth of work and would probably be pulling all my hair out by now.

I’d be offline if not for my dad’s notebook. But this being my dad’s notebook, I won’t be able to say much here, except to say that right now, my frustration is absolute and complete.

I shall now spend the entire evening shying away from all electrical appliances and maroon myself underneath a blanket while attempting to finish Sting’s memoir tonight. Too bad it’s not the man himself…

Thanks DWLT

I managed to get a temp notebook for the next few days. I hope no one will need it while mine is at the repair center. Turns out the system board has kicked the bucket and it will be a few days before the replacement arrives.

I’m using a Thinkpad T42 now. Smaller than my R52, lighter..so that’s nice. I’m adjusting to minor inconveniences like no Firefox (!) so I’m making do with IE. I don’t want to download and install anything new coz I’m trying to minimize the config changes so that I can wipe it clean with minimal effort once my beloved R52 is resurrected from its current comatose. At least I have something to work on, I admit.. I’m totally dependent on this so called digital lifestyle. I know it’s not entirely healthy, but whatever keeps me sane shouldn’t be a bad thing altogether.

Des is slowly regaining her sanity (unfortunately?)

I'm...

...with you there. A computer ranks up there amongst the most basic needs in my life.

So true Des

I’ve discovered that my notebook is a virtual extension of my limbs. I feel so incapacitated.
