Okay. First thing to note is that on the trip back home from Carleton my computer appears to have melted down. I have no idea what happened, but it was working when I left, and when I arrived it won’t even boot up (it just flashes the message “PXE-E61: Media Test Failure.” As far as I can tell, it means the computer thinks I don’t have a hard-drive. 🙁 ). Maybe it got jostled on the plane?
Anyway, I’m working on my brother’s eMachine, which is a slow, spy-ware clogged devil whose longstanding hatred for me is only matched by my reciprocal feelings towards it (I call it the evilMachine). We have a computer guy coming on Saturday, hopefully he can rescue my computer from whatever evil has befallen it. In the meantime, blogging will be appropriately reduced in frequency.
Also: I got 15 hours of sleep last night, after being awake for (excluding a few catnaps I caught on the bus and plane) 35 hours straight. It was divine. And I awoke refreshed and ready to start the day…at 4:00 PM.
Wish me (and my beautiful laptop) luck!
