If you've been listening to my whiny journals I've been having problems with my laptop (It's name was Faust). Basically what happened was the computer would start to freeze up. I was searching for my external to back up my files when the comp froze, after a hard restart it blue screened on start up. :(

I took it to the repair shop in hopes that they could make me look like an idiot and everything would be fine. Turns out the hardware was failing. It was so bad it crashed their machines when they tried to run active tests. woo. it's like a zombie spreading the infection...

So I purchased a replacement and the lads fixed my comp up today. I lost absolutely everything. All my data from the past 3 years. art, stock photos, refs...sigh...The comp was renamed with the new brain and is now Dante. Named after the hell I went through over the past few days.

So yeah good news is my paper i'm preparing for publication is saved online. I had a copy of windows 7 lying around and with the new Harddrive i just updated and dropped vista...um...m'yeah...whatever >.>
