The Laptop Was Ill Today....

[said_scarlett]

I almost had a crisis.

I went to go lay down for a bit, and I left Scott in hibernation. I wandered back, and he had shut down completely. This vexed me, but he's programmed to do that after a certain amount of time. I hadn't realized I'd been gone that long. I grumble a bit, and turn him back on. All his lights flash, he makes the starup noise....nothing.

Okay. I shut him down and try again. Nothing. Again. Nothing.

I wander away for a bit again, to let him rest. Come back. Nothing.

Now I'm getting hysterical because my life is lived on the computer. Finally, finally he starts up.

And promplty decides he needs to restart.

Supposedly it was a problem with memory. So I went and deleted a bunch of things and uninstalled any games I don't play anymore. *crosses fingers* Here's hoping it worked.

Yeech. Hope everything is working now, sick computers are horrible things to have to deal with.

You know when I started reading this I thought you were talking about a pet called scott who was hibernating (I'm thinking maybe hedgehog you know - never mind it's totally the wrong time of year!) For a minute there I was like 'shite what could have gone wrong while the poor animal was hibernating'! Dur! Glad your computer seems to be co-operating again!

*Now has this image of me wandering away leaving a sleeping hedgehog on the couch*

I am a geek and name my computer. The first three were all called Kronos, because I'm unoriginal. Then we had Crighton who didn't last long. Now we're onto Scott.

I think hedgehogs just hibernate when they damn well feel like it. Hermione's still eating like she's hibernating.

*Pets Scott gently*

*snort* the closest I ever got to naming any of mine is when they bugger up and I swear at them! Hehe, lots of people name 'em though - Crighton is a great name -where on earth does scott come from though?!

Scott is named after Scott Summers, better known as Cyclops, from X-Men.
