O HEY U GAIZ - Another Friday update on a Friday :\ Weirdly, although I'm on vacation I have less free time than when I was gainfully employed. What up with that?!

So here's a quandary; I'm assuming that most, if not all of you are more tech-savvy than I, and can provide valuable insight into my current problem:

My computer and I. We hate each other.

It likes to plague me, and I have no idea how to appease it. It runs at a consistent, blistering 48 degrees Celsius, peaking out at 53 when my Antivirus is scanning OR when I crank out a comic page in Photoshop. It also refuses to connect to any wireless network that is not my default at home. Lately it doesn't even want to connect to that half the time (I'm actually uploading this week's page from my dad's computer in the basement).

My dad, he is a webmaster. He can't figure it out. My best friend, she is the smartest lady I know when it comes to computers and despite her best efforts, she couldn't figure it out. Although I could connect to the Ethernet at my college, and although I can see numerous wireless networks and my computer will automatically connect to the strongest signal or say it is connected to whatever network I choose, THE INTERNET WILL NOT WORK. It's so terribly frustrating. And I'm going to be moving to Vermont in a few months for grad school, and would like a computer that can access the internet.

Anyway, it's a Dell Inspiron 6000 and I got it as a hooray-college! present, making it almost six years old, and it has been well-used. Other than running really hot and the whole internet thing it still works really well! Well enough that I'm loathe to buy a new one because I am practical (read: cheap).

Any thoughts? Would it be worth transferring everything to my external hard drive, uninstalling literally everything and rebooting the computer from scratch with my reinstall disk? Should I take it out into a field with a baseball bat and pay an homage to "Office Space"? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated T^T

Fucking A

Hey,
Your work is great. I wish I could draw like you. Take it into another dimension. You know how to tell a page turner story, too. The two do not always go together. I'm in a rock band, I play bass, and my drummer also wishes he could draw like you. We're moderately well known. You would probably hear our latest single, "Meh," on any basic university FM station. Check us out. We're hoping to sign with a medium-to-major label soon.
What's your favorite band? Do you like the Clash? I'm pretty sick of them. Also, speaking of art, what do you think of Ethiopian art? Artur (that's the French spelling) Rimbaud crossed the high Abyssinian plateau on horseback. That very act seems like a form of art to me. Your characters would understand.
Somehow I think you would, too.
Keep on truckin'.
Big Fan.
