I'm writing to you from Paul's spiffy new laptop today. :-)
The reason for this, alas, is not so spiffy. My computer is doing That Thing again. Back in July (I think it was) it did this Thing wherein it would turn on, but only part way. Nothing would happen on the monitor. :-P
I ended up sharing Paul's computer for a week while it was in getting 'repairs'.
However, as it stands/stood, the repairs weren't necessary as nothing was (apparently, er) wrong with the computer.
Perhaps it was just tired or something.
Anyway, it's not the motherboard, I can tell you that much.
Yeah.
So it's doing that again. It was fine this morning, and when I came home and turned it on it was doing That Thing again. :-P
Hopefully this won't last.
I've written three 'installments' of my Nano novel in Paul's Thunderbird window, and sent them to myself. Granted, they don't appear to have turned up yet, so it's possible that this will all have come to naught.
In any case, this is rather disappointing because, hello, I'm going away for the weekend and need to get a *lot* of writing done before I leave. I'm currently a little bit ahead - if said e-mailed bits get through, I will have written (at least) my required 700 extra words to get me clear through tomorrow.
However that still leaves Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (basically, I have to hit 30K before I leave. Unlikely, but I'd like to get as close as possible). Which is a tad difficult when one's computer does not work. (BOO!!!)
So I'm a little perturbed, to say the least. :-P
I'm going to go and check my e-mail again, and see if the stuff got through. I can hope, anyway. ;-)
