For the past month or so, I’ve been having trouble with my computer. Granted, it’s a righteous piece of shit as it is, and I’m supposed to be getting a new one this summer, but I was wondering if anybody had any clue as to why is was such an unmitigated piece of ass-fucking garbage.
I boot up the computer at about the same time every day, 8:30 or so. At about the same time every day, (12:50-1:10) I get an error about my Virtual Memory being too low and that it would be adjusted automatically.
I’m running Windows XP and using Firefox 1.5 (like I’m sure many other people are) and typically I only have 3 programs open: Firefox (one tab for work and one tab for blogging), Thunderbird (email), and my calendar/scheduling system.
I used to also have Trillian running so people could contact me, but I’ve since deleted it, thinking that it was leading to the shitraping crashes that plagued my computer every afternoon. My computer hasn’t crashed yet (it’s only been two days) but I still get the virtual memory problem. I’m also only using about 25% of the available memory on the hard drive, and have run the disk cleanup and defragmentation programs in an attempt to make my computer less of a donkey fucking shit pile paperweight.
So, for the time being I’m only accesible on Messenger (sorry AIM dudes) and whenever I wait for a webpage to laod in the afternoon I feel like I’m fucking standing on the fucking accelerator of a car, and yet the car is only going 5 miles an hour. So I apologize for not commenting as much as I frequently do, but it’s like having my fucking fingernails pulled out waiting for your blog to load, and most days I can’t bear having to wait another TWO FUCKING MINUTES for your comments to load. If I wanted it to take that much time to load a webpage, I’d travel back in time to 1996, buy a fucking 14.4 modem, and fuck myself in the ass while waiting for a fucking page full of fucking blinking HTML loads. FUCK!
