Here I am at the local library
Aug. 14th, 2011 02:40 pmBecause my computer has crashed, again! Yes...again! This time I think it is a conflict with the virus protection software. I use Avast and it was trying to open something in the "sandbox" when the black screen of death appeared. I know it used to be called the BLUE screen of death, but mine is always black with a cursor prompt.
Later, I tried to recover or open in safe mode but my computer is having none of that. So, we are taking it in to the Vet tomorrow. If he says it's dead we are buying a new one. If he says he can save it...we are still buying a new one and retiring this one to the farm league.
Meanwhile, speaking of farm leagues...I went to my second ever baseball game last night. It was for the Chicago Cubs farm league team. And it was fairly entertaining. I had a good time and our side won. I hate major league baseball on TV so I didn't think this would be as good as it was. There's some sort of comraderie that is inspired by baseball fans. At least at this stadium.
