Computer down.

beth_leonardMy regular computer is in the shop. I (theoretically) have backups of everything, and multiple backups of important things like unfinished customer videos, but it is very annoying and a little frightening.
When it started having heat-related issues with the ethernet, I considered buying new hardware, but decided against not because the hardware was too expensive, but because I can't buy hardware that runs software as old as I've got, and the software is no longer sold in the flavor I need. The software costs more than a whole computer.
They said it would take at least five days to diagnose.
It's hard to wait, and time consuming to work around. If I write less than usual or I'm slow to respond to e-mail, that's why. Likewise, I sure hope I don't miss any events, because I was unable to sync the calendar on my iPod Touch with the computer iCal calendar before sending it into the shop, and I've already noticed one event that isn't totally up to date.
