technical difficulties

A week ago I put my laptop in a coma... It woke up for about 30 hours on Friday (just enough time to back everything up on my shiny new external hard drive), but it has now passed on to the computer afterlife. I'm taking it to the store tomorrow to see if they can resurrect it, but we'll see if it's a Jesus computer or not... So for now, enjoy this gnome, courtesy of this lovely blog, while I do homework on library computers and check email and Facebook on my phone...
