Gate at Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon


My computer is °íÀå.

For a long time, Scandisk wouldn't work (something kept writing to the drive causing it to start over again and again) and the computer had a nasty habit of slowing down to a crawl and crashing. Then on Friday, it wouldn't recognize any CDs in the drive. I deleted some programs to cut down on background tasks (ad programs and things that had been imbedded and soaking up system resources), then I downgraded to IE5 with the plan to re-upgrade and hopefully replace any damaged system files-- that always used to work. No luck this time. There were errors on the drive and files were overlapping, including system files. The computer is toast. Luckily I've already uploaded unpublished photos, like the one above, to my website but I have a feeling I am bound to lose everything else.

So here I sit in a PC¹æ again. I have class in an hour. If you need to email me for the time being, use this one. I won't be into the rest of my accounts until I get a dedicated mail client again.

It's funny, but in the middle of the day when there are fewer people at the PC¹æ, it begins to smell like an airport lounge. I guess I'll use this time to do more research on PC Gamer Death Syndrome.
