Just a heads up. I'm not going to be able to stream or produce any art for a little while.

Yesterday, my computer monitor stopped working. It had been starting to get a little glitchy, but now has stopped working altogether. Right now, I'm using an old CRT monitor I had sitting about the place. It required a bit of resourcefulness on my part to get it hooked up and working, but at least I do have a working screen now, allowing me to use my computer to get online and stuff.

The downside is, this thing is very big, and takes up a hell of a lot of space on my desk. So much so, that there's no room for my graphics tablet, which means I can't do any inking, colouring or streaming with this set up. Even if space wasn't an issue, I don't think doing any art with this thing would turn out well. The resolution is terrible compared to what I'm used to, parts of the screen are slightly blurry, and I've discovered that the display is a little dark. Some pics and videos that I could look at just fine are now murky and tough to make out. I've fiddled with the settings, turned the brightness up to max, but it hasn't helped.

I'm stuck with this thing until I'm able to scrape together the money to get myself a new monitor. I'm not sure how long that's going to take.

In other news, I'm not going to be about later this week. I have some time off work, so am going to go visit my boyfriend for my birthday. I will be going Thursday and returning next Wednesday, so don't be surprised if you're not able to contact me during that time. Thanks in advance for any birthday wishes anyone posts for me on Friday.
