    2 nights ago, while enjoying a pleasant lightsaber duel with some friends -and I was winning too, which is rare! -my monitor blew up. It literally exploded. Or at least something within it started emitting sparks and strange noises, and then it died... It is from the last century and was a crap monitor, so I'm not going to repair it, so till I get a new monitor, I'm stuck on my dad's laptop, also from the last century... It works, but is so frustratingly slow, I can't bring myself to as much browsing as I normally do...

    It will be like this for a few weeks though, because I'm packing my bags! Thursday next week I'm going to England, and I'll be gone for 10 wonderful days! :) I'm down to counting hours now... I can't wait! :D

    Going to London first for a few days to visit auntie Bridget. Then I'll spend a day with some friends in Reading, before going up to Leeds to spend the rest of the week with some friends there. I'm so giddy, I can barely sleep! :D

    I'll pop in from work during the days next week, till I take off, so I won't be a total stranger. And I might come online when I'm in Leeds too.

    Take care! :)

    Bummer on the monitor... but it gives you an excuse to get a new one ;)


    Have a great time in the UK.. but I know you will :)

    Does look like you are bringing the winter weather with you... weather reports for the coming weeks are SNOW!

    My thougts too, I've been wanting a new monitor for a long time! I had hoped to wait a little longer so that I could get something really good! ;)

    I DON'T WANT SNOW ! ! ! Why do you think I'm going to England? I was hoping to get away it! :( I've even threatened my friends and told them if there is snow, I aint coming! :mad:

    ;)

    Kodo, I'll try, but my steam driven camera has been retired, so I'll have to rely on my friends taking pictures... not quite as much fun!

    G.T. I won't, it would be ridiculous to drag a monitor with me home on the plane. I'll go for internet shopping as usual! ;)
    3 more nights, 4 work days, and I'm off. I'm very giddy! :D

    See you when you get back, then. If it's absence of snow you be wanting, it's 38 deg.C (100 deg. F) here.;) I'm glad summer's nearly gone in this neck of the dark woods.

    By then you should be "re-geeked" with your spiffy new monitor.

    I'm back again! :)

    Didn't see a lot of snow, just some sleet, a few hailstorms and rain. Northern England was it's usual wet self lol. But I had a lovely time! Didn't do a lot, spent most of the time with my friends, chatting, watching movies, a little gaming, that sort of stuff! :D

    Still on the old monitor, will have to wait a few weeks before I order a new one, I can't wait! The one I'm on now looses power and goes very dark when I do something outrageous like opening an msn window or a firefox window... ;)

    What is happening here? Any new arguments about how crappy FF is that I have to get involved in? :D

    Glad to see you're home safely though.

    Welcome back Solange, sounds like you had fun.

    threaten your moniter with a hammer, or shop for your new one right in front of the old one, maybe it'll get the hint and shape up ;)

    Nope. FF is perfectly made software. Not one single bug and it's bloody impenetrable. Any questions? :p:p

    Yes, welcome back to the fold.:) Summer time in northern England is pretty nice, i.m.o.

    Your monitor has one and a half feet in the grave! At least it still (kinda) works.

    Thanks everyone! Feels good to be back online, and nice to have my cat back. I do miss my friends over there very much though... :)

    I whispered to it that the junk yard isn't very far away... ;)

    No questions, I'm already a believer! :p

    Thanks for the link! :D ***shaking my head*** So much energy for such a futile war! :eek: :rolleyes:

    Så lite som möjligt! :p

    Yeah, it is crap. My dad found it at a company he works for, it has been retired for 3 years and was about to be thrown out... Now I know why! I just want it to function for a few more weeks! :cool:
