Worse than bad camera news
So my camera is fine but my computer is basically gone, i.e. the hard drive crashed and the DVD drive is pretty broken too so even though I had a replacement it’s going to be a struggle to get anything back online and running, and tambien the hard drive that died contained all my pictures for the last month as well as a post or two I had up my sleeves and other work stuff and it’s now basically all gone.
So there’s that. Not exactly a good situation for me to be in, since I’m theoretically supposed be an IT volunteer, and a lot of my tools were on that computer and I’m not sure if they were backed up, but… there it is. And I’m too broke to send myself a netbook or anything like that. So if you happen to have an older laptop lying around that you’re not using, let me know and I could cover shipping if you wanted to part with it.
The part I like the least about all this, is I lost a bunch of Tanuki puppy photos.
I got an email from wordpress that was like “Your Year in Blogging!” and had all sorts of neat things about my blog like how I’ve had enough passenger traffic to fit 24 jumbo jets of people, except that I know it is really only the same 20 people reading this over and over so it’d really be just a Lear Jet or a smaller jet, but it’d be a fun party with y’all nonetheless. And that I had 155 posts in a year, roughly 5 a week, which I guess is a lot, hah, and apparently I have posted many photos. Who knew!
So yeah, the blog is sort of in suspension mode until I get my stuff resolved. Love y’all and miss y’all, remember there is only 17 months left to visit me! Oh and I already have my first visitor lined up, in March! Yay!

I miss you pennies… I’ll look around the garage and see if I still have my ol’ HP laptop…
I’ll keep you posted.
I’m going to visit you in the DR, with some fabu pumps and a new bra, before you leave!

Sad time friend. Sending healing technology thoughts to you. Also, ordered a lonely planet guide to the DR through my university’s library today. Tehe! I want to wrap my mind around your world down there and make this shit happen. Ha!

Is the harddrive dead or the computer? Maybe we could salvage data from your HDD or get your computer back up and running with a new HDD.
While I lack laptops, I do have an over abundance of desktop computers. Not helpful if you need to be portable, but, for the most part, they run.

Want me to bring you one when I come down in March? I see eee pc 901′s on eBay all the time for less than $200. You could finance it through me interest-free or just agree to give it back next year when you COS.

Okay sorry for not updating sooner folks, but the laptop situation has been worked out. Faris is sending me his old Macbook! Also Sophia, I am so excited!
