I’ll start with the bad news. My computer broke down. It’s been causing me a lot of trouble lately but now it’s finally become impossible to work with. Not only does it now freeze during startup, it overheats and shuts down during startup repair and wont let me save a backup of files. Doesn’t help that the power chord conveniently broke at the same time so I can barely keep the battery charged up long enough to attempt to fix it.
So what does this mean? Well I have finally purchased a new laptop. It’s nothing special and most certainly could’ve been a bit smarter in picking it out, but I didn’t have much time to work with. All my backups for both the comics and comicpress HTML and textures are gone, as well as everything else that was in the old laptop. Now where am I gonna put my egg salad recipes and ridiculously softcore hentai?
This shouldn’t be much of a problem to any of you though. I technically could’ve had a comic uploaded with no problems and none of you would know any better, but I chose not to for several reasons. First, I have a lot of things that need replacing, and I have family staying for the weekend, so I didn’t have much time to not only make a new comic, install the scanner onto this computer, and learn how to make heads or tails out of this fancy new computer. Second, I decided this is a great way to try something new and get used to my new robot slave at the same time. So I’m officially making this
Paintshop Week!
This whole week’s updates will be done entirely on whatever Paint software I have available on this thing. None of that homemade brew, this is going to be crappy digital comics. I doubt I’ll get any good in such short time, but it’s a nice change of pace and will most likely serve me some good in the long run. I hope you all love wacky bloopers of fat people falling down, cause that’s pretty much what this week will be.
I would also appreciate it if you warn any friends and family about this if you introduce them to my lovely site. We don’t want them getting the wrong impression. Oh, who am I kidding? You’d never let anyone living know you’re reading this stuff. My insignificance doesn’t make me love you guys any less though, all five of you.
