Dead DV6

The worst part about having ideas to write about is not having the ability to write them down. Last week, without notice, my laptop died on me. Allow me to explain: I was actively using my laptop one morning last week. Using as normal: social networking, job hunting, etc. You know, nothing out of the ordinary. This went on for about two hours when I decided it was time to take the dogs to the dog park. Sometimes we head over to the dog park mid-afternoon and sometimes mid-morning. A couple of weeks ago I met a really pretty very intelligent girl during one of our mid-morning jaunts and a few days later ran across her again at roughly the same time. So, naturally, I've been heading over there at roughly the same time. Mid-morning. I set the laptop down on the ottoman (on the cooling tray it rarely ever leaves) and let MS Windows naturally fall into hibernation mode while I was away. A couple of hours later I return. The laptop is still sitting where I left it, the fan is run...

Terrible news! Not only am I going to lose very valuable time with NaNoWriMo, but photos, photo-editing and a host of other things. Hopefully,  +Nate Taylor 's offer solves my problems. In the meantime I have my Note II (to keep me connected) and my old  +ASUS  netbook with limited computing power for everything else. I can blog, but there's not enough power to edit 20mpx images or to run numerous programs at once, Hangout or even watch HD videos on Youtube. Heck, even running numerous tabs in  +Google Chrome  bogs it down. Here's to crossed fingers.

What's one of my mottos? That's right: "Free is my favorite number." And while I haven't tried most of these I'm sharing them with you anyway in case you want to try them out on your own. Free Computer Tools From Across the Web
