I might have written earlier this week, but i think i might have fried something in my computer. I was trying to upgrade my processor, but by the time i was done fiddling around in the box, the darn thing would even go on. It's in the shop now. I built it from parts almost three years ago now, so i thought a processor upgrade would be a relatively simple thing. How little did i know; our computer-guru friend told me that putting a new processor on an old motherboard is like putting new wine in old wineskins. I thought that was a good use of the biblical metaphor. I should be getting it back before the end of the week. It was eye opening, though: sometimes one doesn't miss something until it's not there, you know? And i didn't realize how much i used my computer until it wasn't available. I filled my time with other things, though, in a most profitable fashion.
