Also, BSOD means Blue Screen Of Death for those who don't understand computer lingo. Netbook's always had a HDD problem, but it's never BSOD'd on it's own before.

...thank you, TUAW, for that quote.
So, we wonderful Aussies get laptops for school now. Ho ho ho. Yay. Good-oh. Good, now my teachers don't have to try and decipher my handwriting.
My school laptop's hard drive died today. During maths. Windows came up with a wonder of an error message:
"Windows has detected your hard drive is failing."
Or something to that effect anyway, I had two screenshots but I don't have the computer.
OMG NO! Here I was thinking these crashes, the going thru of the system repair wasn't anything to worry about. Seems not. Either I've stuffed my laptop with so much stuff it's carked it, or maybe I just don't treat it right. I suggest the latter seeing as cramming stuff into a HDD isn't a risky move at all. Anyway, I gave the computer fixer guy the laptop and he said "If it's a software problem I can fix it but if it's inside the computer I have to send it to the manufacturers". Oh shiiiiiiitttteeee. That means I may be without a laptop for a good three weeks, which is not good. I who have nothing for school apart from a laptop, is royally screwed. More to the point, now how am I gonna not pay attention during maths and actually just procrastinate? And even more to the point, how am I gonna listen to music or play chess?Flugufrelsarinn by Sigur Rós is one of my favourite things to listen to during class as it soothes me. No longer.
I am now gonna be a whiny little bitch.
Also, to my teachers who believe I can't do all my work on the computer: Erm, I'm a computer geek. I can find a way. Need me to draw something? It's called Photoshop. Need me to write out complex math problems? It's called Word. It does that. Need me to actually do the bloody work so I can pass and work for Apple when I'm older? Let me use the bloody computer.
If you think there is something wrong with me writing my notes into a computer, well, I'm afraid you probably think I can understand my handwriting (which I can't) and can write quickly and neatly. Not so.
Give me a bloody computer, I saw an occupational therapist for two years. Be nice.
In other news I really, really want to see Depeche Mode on tour and buy two DM shirts.
No, I can barely go a post without mentioning the best band in the universe.
...this blogging is becoming a once a month thing. Whoops.

Dentistry is a bitch.
Today's plans were to get up at 9 am to go to my grandma's, help her out with some computer problems, then get some lunch and go to the dentist. It didn't work out that way.
First off, I didn't get to sleep until 4 am last night. I was watching Devotional. With my entire Depeche Mode collection excluding the Sounds Of The Universe box set beside me. Naturally that made me a tad tired and stoned.
My mum wakes me up at 9 am, like planned. The rest of the day went fine up until we worked out we wouldn't be having lunch after my grandma's because my mum's scrapbooking class was going on longer than expected. So we had to go straight to the dentist.
30 minutes of having my teeth cleaned to buggery later, we were out of there. Went to Next Byte looking for a Magic Mouse, found one but it wasn't hooked up to a Mac. Damn sexy mouse though. Yes, I just called a mouse sexy. I'm a geeky Apple fangirl, now leave me alone.
I just had to clean my teeth and jeez that hurt like fucking hell. Dentistry is a bitch.
Now, on to better things like getting some actual sleep and preparing for seeing the friend on Thursday who believes my floof will attack her.
We are going to IKEA on Wednesday as well as the doctor - I've got this strange purple lump on my face.

Oh, damn. Unreal has taken over my computer time again, as a time waster while I try and install Quake Live. I figure here would be the best place to describe the wonderful botmatch that went on today (me versus 16 of the computer. Perfect). This was written on Windows Live Writer which I don’t like very much, so if something screws up I apologise.
First off, a picture of my character, SisterOfNight.
Here are some shots of the actual fight.
This was with no cheats, so I’m kinda proud. The AI players are a little too easy though, and Katryn was one of the hard ones. I sniped mostly with a flak cannon, my weapon of choice.

Why, you ask? Well, I've been cleaning my iPod touch preparing it to go out tomorrow, fitting it's case and all, and I just discovered a crack in the screen. Less than three millimeters long, but still enough for me to be very annoyed with myself and cut up because Apple doesn't cover neglegence. All I can do right now is either leave it or take it to Apple and ask them to fix it. It's still under warranty. I might ring them tomorrow and ask them if I'm covered for this.
It's not the end of the world, but it's enough to make me think of my touch as way more fragile rather than indestructible.
I wrote this on my touch, with the crack. If I don't concentrate on it I can't even see it.

33 Things You Don't Need If You Have An iPhone/Swiss Army Phone
0 comments Posted by Gina_Calabrese at 2:40 AMTUAW, don't slander me for advertising your blog on my blog. To everyone else, if you have an iPhone or are considering getting one (either that or an iPod touch), you may want to check this out.
May you never have to buy anything on that list again, unless you like your handwriting.
Swiss Army Phone! Or Swiss Army iPod in my case!
...between Google Chrome and Safari. Which one shall I use and keep using? I love Safari 'cause it's Apple, it remembers my stuff and has all my bookmarks. I love Google Chrome 'cause it's great for shits and giggles, and loads stuff very fast. Like, very fast, once you load it once.
Now which one shall I use?
Aw, hell, I'll just alternate until I figure it all out. Besides, in a few days I hope to have a hackint0sh, and more on that later. Perhaps from my iPod touch. In the mood to make a post on it.
