The Swedish Chef Approves

I believe the monitor on my desktop has borked. At the very least, the power supply is dead. I was talking to Mom on my cell phone, when the montior turned off and would not turn on again. I'm going to poke at it tomorrow and see if it's completely dead or not.

If it is, I'm not particularly worried. I don't have anything on my hardrive I need for school, and I backed up my files recently enough so that I still have access to 99 percent of my files. The only thing I'm even slightly put out over is that I have find another copy of a film that I was going to watch.

Now, say, if my laptop borks, then I'll be pissed.

Must be Black Thursday for computers or something. . .

After a ravaging battle with MythTV and our server (which I kind of sorta won. . .), my desktop blue-screened while I was off making tea. It wasn't even doing anything taxing, just checking RvB. Also, the spare battery for my laptop that I haven't used in probably close to a year is totally dead and won't hold a charge.

Suffice to say, I am not on good terms with my computers.

That sounds like a rather nasty battle, indeed.
