Bonus!secret: I am totally fine talking to Jared, Jensen, Misha and any of the other members of the SPN cast but even thinking about meeting Sebastian Roche sends me all wibbly and freaks me out. I don't even know what it is. I didn't even like him until relatively recently. I'm sure if I meet him I will make a total idiot out of myself. When this happens we will never speak of it, 'kay?

Timing you do not have it
Jul. 1st, 2011 08:23 pmSo, I think my laptop is just about dead :(
I really wanted to hold off until the end of August after my car goes through its MOT but my laptop is getting to the point where it's practically unusable.
I can put up with the USB ports not working sometimes, some of the keys sticking and the general slowness but I think the wireless card has had it. I was sat literally two feet away from my parents router today and it kept disconnecting every 30 mins and when the connection was up it was painfully slow. This coupled with the fact that I can only get signal in my bedroom at home if I'm facing a certain direction says it's the card.
So either I suck it up and buy a new laptop now and cross everything that my car is okay (or that I get loads of overtime in next month) or I look into getting a replacement wireless card as a temporary measure. The latter seems a bit daft for something I'm going to use for a couple of months.
I dunno. I'll have to check out laptops and see if I can get a decent one for a reasonable price.
Grar! If it had only lasted another six weeks
*sigh*
