It&#8217;s Gremlin&#8217;s computer, and it&#8217;s been sucking a lot all year.<\/p>\n<p>He finally brought it up for me to reformat.<\/p>\n<p>But, since he didn&#8217;t want to bring up his monitor cable, I&#8217;m using The Old Sony.   The Old Sony hurts me.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nWhy is it up here instead of downstairs?  I need to be near my computer in case things go horribly wrong and I need to look stuff up.<\/p>\n<p>And why aren&#8217;t we using his monitor?  He&#8217;s got an HD beast that can&#8217;t be used during a reformat, because the output isn&#8217;t within the right ranges.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;I think I need to add &#8216;new flat panel monitor&#8217; to my list of &#8216;things which would be neat to have for the next time I have to do this.&#8217;    I&#8217;ve got a whole list of stuff that basically results in the building of an extra &#8216;troubleshooting computer&#8217;.  Something that I really don&#8217;t care much about that I can do all sorts of horrible things to trying to rescue stuff for other people.<\/p>\n<p>Or something.  Hey, if you wanna help me get that monitor, or even just a Cthulhu backpack or something, the paypal link is down there.   There&#8217;s also other stuff, but I&#8217;m not allowed to mention or encourage anything.<\/p>\n<p>Except&#8230;there&#8217;s also <a HREF=\"http:\/\/wastedinc.com\">Wasted, Inc.<\/a>  Buying stuff there helps too.   And there&#8217;s a few things there that I should mention, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>1.  <a HREF=\"http:\/\/paroxysm.wastedinc.com\">Paroxysm<\/a>, formerly <i>Pandemic<\/i>, is now finished and fully for sale in its final version.    I&#8217;d call it &#8216;horror&#8217;.  I&#8217;m not sure what anyone else would call it.  I really think people should read it, though.  It&#8217;s worth learning how.<\/p>\n<p>2. <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/wastedinc\/863004\">Black Shirts<\/a> are coming soon, in time for the holidays.  The Cthulhu in a Coffeecup is on one of them.  I&#8217;m hoping that Wasted will offer him on a few other things, and I think I&#8217;m going to try and throw together some other horrible things for shirts.  If only I could find my graphics tablet pen<\/p>\n<p>Hey, there&#8217;s another donation-worthy cause.<\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;ll be other stuff.  I&#8217;ve been trying to help Gremlin come up with stuff,  since before the black shirts came out.   I&#8217;m also working on a new logo for my website, and, um&#8230;stuff.<\/p>\n<p>I think SP2 is about done.  I should get back to The Horrible Sony of Pain [I&#8217;m currently in front of a Wonderful Mitsubishi of Holedness.
