No further blackouts

This one wasn’t as long as the last — perhaps no one really even noticed — but I’m now back after being without a computer again for some time. What happened last time was the power plug snapped. I ordered a new computer (this one I’m currently using) on eBay, because there were a lot of things wrong with my old comp. Keys didn’t work, the screen was coming unhinged, the keyboard was half-popped out. It needed to be replaced.

It took 6 weeks for me to get this computer, for reasons that are mostly my fault but are still quite annoying. About 2 weeks into that stretch, I bought a replacement power cable for my old computer, and I was back on. Three nights ago, I was working on a new post — one that should be up tonight sometime — and the screen on that computer just blacked out. The ghost was given up.

So, I needed to track down this computer. Thankfully I finally did, and here I am. I lost nothing from the old computer. I loaded everything I needed from it onto an external hard drive, so all is well.

And I’ll never drop off the map again 🙂
