It has now officially been a whole day since we started this thing.

(Yes this one is going up a bit early.)

My progress this hour:

-Ran out of Supernatural to watch.
-Lost 2 out of 2 games of Magic: The Gathering Online.
-Made coffee.
-Irreparably damaged my other computer.
-Drank coffee.

I may not be in the mood to write anything for a while. I hope you guys are having better luck.

Sounds a lot like my progress, unfortunately.

But how in the world did you irreparably damage your computer?

I fixed a hardware problem, and then Windows decided that meant I'd tried to pirate it onto a different machine. And reactivation is not an option.

I made a post about it here (http://community.livejournal.com/computerhelp/1657548.html?view=8422604#t8422604) if you really want all the details.

Just read it and oh, that really sucks! At least that wasn't your only computer, but yes, I can see how that could completely kill the mood to write. Hope you didn't lose any hard-to-replace files in the debacle. And I also hope you find a way to fix it.

Thanks.

One of the last things I was able to do with it was make backups of most of my stuff, and the HDD itself is intact. So the only thing I really lost was use of the computer itself. I guess I did get lucky, compared to some other stories I've heard.

I do expect my head to explode if I don't find another way to do graphics in the next week or two, though.
