Sorry hon. If I was anywhere nearby, I'd offer to help for free. And if I wasn't just coming off a lot of expenses that I hadn't planned for, I'd offer to throw money at you. )= )= Really wish I could help.
Also, I miss you. I dunno how the job hunt's going, but if it's getting desperate enough that you're looking outside of the pacific northwest, I'd be happy to give you a recommendation at my new employer -- we are hiring programmers. Not for games, but a job's a job, right? (=

Well, you just made me smile a whole lot. :) Thank you, you don't have to do any of that stuff. I have a few resources I can call in on, and I get paid on Monday. With any luck, I'm right and it's just a blown power supply that needs replacing.

You're welcome to pass on my resume to your employer, though any job that far away needs to offer me a REALLY good pay rate and moving package. (I'll not you soon.) Also, what requirements/qualifications are they looking for? If they're wanting C# and ASP.NET like all the other companies, I'll be a bad fit.

As it is, I've landed a job at a local call center, doing customer support for a popular gaming console. (That's as much as I can say, confidentiality agreements and whatnot.) I'm still looking for programming work in the meantime, but the call center job will pay the bills plus a little extra, so financially I'll be okay.

I miss you, too, Atma.

Man, that was such a weird little computer adventure. I'm glad we finally solved it.

Huzzah for a new 700W power supply! What does not kill my computer makes it stronger.

lol And it glows blue!
