A sketch


Well folks my computer is back up and running, with some significant improvements. After a frustrating month of waiting, only to receive a still broken computer, I went and fixed it myself. Two days later I discovered what was causing my computer to restart without ceasing. What resembled a minuscule gunpowder blast had appeared on my motherboard's fragile silicon construction. My (approx.) seven year-old ECS K7S5A motherboard had fried.

It wasn't bad RAM or a bad hard drive. They both checked out okay.

So with my computer rebuilt, sporting a P4 3.0ghz with hyperthreading (which, to my understanding, is already outdated technology) I am feeling better about things. Shawn gets back in town tomorrow, my computer is set up, and I can guarantee things are going to start rolling again.

In the meantime, today's Toad is the first thing I've sketched on my new monitor using my computer, and not Shawn or Kathy's laptop.

Kathy just purchased a neat Fuji 6MP digital camera, and was able to supply us with a photo of Shawn and I at work on my "new" computer. Enjoy.






Yes I'm holding a giant magnifying glass.

Glad to see you back in "action"!
Hey.. how about a toon on the chef's mishap? Would involve blood and stitches - yeah!!

Yay! The computer is no longer unreliable! I look forward to many Bluehouses and Toads in the future.
