My computer sucks my ass

So I am totally pissed at my computer. Now don't get me wrong, until recently I praised Toshiba laptops to Heaven and back, but come on! November it crashed. I don't really think it's been working right since then. The Geek Squad are idiots and can't get their head out of their ass to figure out it's a hardware problem, not software (which they always blame the user for). So since I got it back two weeks ago (after sending it away a few times to CA) it's been acting goofy if I try to wake it up from standby. Today it finally just said I am done with you and gave me a DLL Kernel error, so the good ole Internet people say to use your recovery disk to get the thing fixed but I can only get that to recover the damn laptop. That wouldn't be so bad if I did a backup lately, but imagine not having your laptop work for months then you get it back, and you got a shitload of work to do, so you do it all, then it crashes again. Damnit. I set up a new blog since then and have a ton of info for that, my password lists, emails sent to me from all of my new companies, and now nada. Nothing. I'm on Spring Break now and sitting here twiddling my thumbs.

But then you ask "but, Dylan. How are you typing this blog message to your true solitaire devotee." And I answer you, true solitaire devotee, I am using my wife's Toshiba laptop that likes to crash and turn off whenever it wants. The same one I've kept telling her for about a month now to take to the Geek Squad so it too can migrate to the wild waters of the Pacific to the Geek Squad mothership for them to run their mojo on it. Of course so far it's not crashing, and I can read the bad reviews Heather Armstrong and Jason Kottke got from SXSW's keynote yesterday and shake my head at all the dorks out their that just don't get her they way I get her.

So back to sitting with the kid, doing nothing, waiting for the wife, so I can scrounge the office for that damn XP Pro disk that I've misplaced since shoving every piece of anything not detrimental into our office recently in an attempts to make the entire house as kid friendly as an empty baby crib.

More later from some other computer somewhere else. Of course those iBooks look better and better like the frigging Energizer rabbit.
