I cannot emphasize enough how much I hate technology just now. If it's not Blizzard and their fail WoW parches, it's my new graphics card being too good for my old piece of shit monitor.


I feel your pain, FailCat. I just want my computer games the same way you want your cat food! Stupid metaphorical cone of shame!

Toaster did it again. Toaster has been airlocked.

Now for a new graphics card. TO PC WORLD!

But I have Windows 7 disks! Prepare to be reformatted! Time to purge the last traces of Vista from your system and banish them back to hell where they belong!

The saga of how my toaster killed my graphics card.

I get up and I want some toast so I go to make some toast. The toaster does not want to make toast, so shorts out, setting off the fuses. And the pc was on at the time, so it cuts out. When I switch on the fuse, get the toaster to behave and go back to re-turn on the pc I keep getting 'signal over range' on my screen instead of internets.

Some poking about in safe mode later I figure out it's the graphics card, and when I disable it everything else works normally.

I haven't dared see if my games still work without it.

Fracking Cylons!

Finally have urge to work on WIP that should have been done months ago.

Remember that buggy Microsoft Works gave up the ghost and trial version of Microsoft Office still needs to be paid for.

Work out I'll have money for it next week.

Realise Microsoft is holding my unfinished fic hostage until then.

Make note to save back ups in non-Microsoft dependent formats from now on.

Yes you can haz moar ram!!! Yay!

Now to do the graphic card.
