My Monitor R.I.P.
[09:26 pm]
Just Another Website, keep reloading . . . This is the ultimate style switchero :-)
My monitor died again, second time in three years. You must be lucky with the hardware you get nowadays. To my best knowledge, the monitor is still under warranty. Calling KDS will be the first thing tomorrow morning. I would have bought a new monitor today, but it is Sunday evening and everything is closed already. My old 15" friend is getting a proper dust cleanup already.

Root Canal Treatment
[12:33 am]
Going to the dentist is fun!
Yeah, you're right. The part that I really don't like is not the pain, but the fact that you need to keep your mouth open all the time, without being able to talk, complain, move . . .
