No computer at home :(
It seems the computer gods don't want me to have a running computer at my new home :(
Last night Karl and David came over to try and get my wireless network set up and my computer's power kept turning off... ARRRGGHHHHH not good. Oh the power, its the power board, theres too many things running off the one power point i thought (hoped). Nope plugged extension cord into brothers working board (thanks to Dave's idea) and it still turned off. Im thinking my power supply is screwed :(
Dramarama! I was thinking last night how my computer is so much a part of my life, its connected in many ways. My mobile phone pictures, I love taking phone pics, I come home, if i have good ones on it i will want to upload them to my moblog. This is how my computer is connected to my phone / picture love. Next we have this blog, something happens during the day, or i find something way cool or just want to write, well i use my computer to blog (using works atm.. shhhh don't tell). Next we have music. Music is my blood, I need it always in some form or another, with my computer as a portal to NEW music and downloadable albums and winamp to play my songs it all happens. Couple that with last.fm plugin which records my listening stats you have another undeniable way that my computer improves my quality of life. Oh yeah and then theres the "social" interactual aspect of the computer/internet, this being access to msn and chat programs, browsing last.fm group forums and emailing. Internet is the greatest thing, I need internet back soon and my computer to run, I do not want to have to resort to watching television, television is the enemy... well mostly.
Just want it to work and for the net to work. No computer is like no phone, like no toothepaste, like no toilet paper, like no foood..
Another thing I have noticed with moving outta home into appartment is that ive become more aware of my primal needs if you will. At home If i was hungry, i go to cupboard and feed. At new home if im hungry, if i have something to eat i can eat, if not i have to think about how to get food. Its like im resorting back to a childlike/babylike state where I am very aware of my needs once again and its up to me to control how I get those needs met. Needs are food, drink, computer, money, living necessities, human company. Moving out of home is also giving me an idea of my ideal living conditions, the pros and cons and is motivating me to want to save up for a house deposit.
Over and Out (<-- MPL rip off, you know who you are)

You have my sympathy man. I fully understand what you're saying. Hell, I don't even have a TV or HiFi or anything 'most' bedrooms'd have 'cause my computer does it all. If my computer died... Well. Snap man.
Hope it is the power supply 'cause then you won't need to do any more research and/or pay someone to find the problem. Just *bam bam* new power supply, and the world is happy once again.
Your post made me think about how much we depend on computers and internet. Imagine 20 years ago. No internet, and no computers (like now-a-days). Heck, from what I heard CD players where a new craze that only the rich could afford. Or something... What did they do for entertainment? How did they keep connected to other people and how did they keep occupied?
With what you said about the moving out stuff... I can't wait to experience stuff like that! I'll pay attention to everything you say about this. It may help me prepare for when I make the move in July-ish.
*folds into the wind*
