I was attacked by Gremlins.

yup, cause of all kinds of electrical and mechanical failure, the gremlin. They attacked my PC today and so, alas, I probably won't be able to post a whole lot. Not quite sure what the problem is, but since last night it wasn't able to connect to the internet I imagine it is a bum motherboard.

anyway, if I think of anything spectacularly interesting to tell you about I can always hop on my netbook and share it...
