I've heard that I have sleep walked before, but I have yet to see anyone else do so.

Your lucky he didn't piss on your computer or something.

Your body is supposed to paralyze itself during sleep so that you don't actually act out your dreams or anything. They have fail-bodies it seems.

Also...
<- fool.

After dumping Firefox and hanging out with her more attractive and shiny friend, Chrome, I received one package with a nice red bow and green wrapping paper and whatnot.
I open it.

as;oiduhfsa;fd;oajf;dVIRUSjf;jsahdfkasuhdfk;jsadf.

Completely incapacitated my computer, no task bar, no .exes, no antimalware, no internet, etc.

But Firefox came up to me and was like, "Pssst! I have a Safe Mode capability!"

So we had sex while in Safe Mode and now I'm back online and my computer is fixed.

I was procrastinating by playing Territory War on addictinggames, and owning at it, for the record.
All of a sudden, Spybot was throwing up alerts that Java was changing registry values and whatnot.
And then my anti-spyware stuff(AVG, I think) was like, "Virus! You can Delete(blanked out...) or Ignore." I had to press ignore, obviously.

Yeah, she does. And she knows that it's her fault for my STD, so she is OK with it. FireFox is a pretty laid back chick, so she won't mind if I hook up with Chrome every once in awhile, as long as I practice safe surfing.

OK, steam sometimes just won't connect to it's servers when I get logged out while steam is still running. Each time this happens I have to connect my computer directly to my modem, get steam to login once, switch back to my router and hope it lasts. Well, now it's just not working. So, I go to support and it says steam does not work on DMZ. WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT? So then I go to portforwarding to see if I'm doing something wrong. This is what I get:

Don't blame steam, blame yourself and your ISP, the problem comes from your router and/or your firewall(s) :XP:

Steam is the reason for all my and the world's problems.

Maybe not that bad, but I do dislike parts of it.

So it's my fault steam goes through my firewall instead of going with dmz?

OMFG it was, that dlink router has finally failed me...

I took my wireless Linksys router and manually configured it and now steam works :?
I wish they had more Gigabit routers out there, the only affordable I have seen is about $90 made by Dlink and it only has 4 ports >_>.

A few weeks ago I had to fix my ceiling fan because one of it's blades were crooked.
I now realize that it's also spinning in the wrong direction. :¬_¬:

Edit: It appears there may be a directional switch on it. I was not aware ceiling fans had such a thing. :hmm2:

In summer, have it push the air down to cool you off.
In winter, have it push the air upwards to circulate the air without the breeze.

Got a computer to repair awhile ago: finally got time to try making it work. Got the BIOS working just by resetting the battery, but then hit a wall: all the ISOs of Windows 7 I burned kept failing half-ways through the installation process. Six DVDs down and I am now resorting to using my OEM x64 disk.

Damn large companies! I've been watching this on and off for a while now and am pissed off to hear that 8 years of work is going to be wasted. I encourage those who remember the glory days of Roberta Williams' Kings Quest series (and those who don't) to sign the petition.

I can't imagine putting 8 years of my life into a free project to have to terminated upon completion...
