Technical Difficulties


Gospel, my desktop, is completely borked and has to be reformatted thanks to my mother.

I'm posting this from Chikage, my laptop.

It's going to take quite a while to back up Gospel's 500GB hard drive, so it's going to be out of commission for at least two or three days, if not more. (I am busy throughout this weekend.)

And when I get back from my business, my mother is going to usurp Chikage in order to do her taxes.

As such, things will be delayed for a bit. Shitsuji Shoujo should be fine since that script is almost done and I keep all my in-progress stuff on a USB drive, but yeah. Anything past that may be a while.

But I'll do my best to get this crap cleared up as soon as possible.

Sorry about this. -_-

Moral of the story... get your mother a cheap, disposable computer.

My computer blew up this week courtesy of my University's 'Nanny' network. About to upgrade my laptop with a 500GB HDD as well. What a coincidence!

Some tips:
I recommend you disable internet access for when your mom uses it, and create a Guest account specially for her (don't let her have administrator priveleges!)

That's the thing- she has her own computer. It's one I handpicked, and is actually better than either of mine.

But she HAS to use mine. >_<

Wow! That's a pretty unexpected development. When I saw the pic going with the post, I expected the problem to be Cirno trying to 'fix' your computer!
Too bad it wasn't. That woulda been some kinda awesome. Unless your mother is actually Cirno. No wait. That's just plain crazy.
But maybe you should just swap compys with the strongest mother.
That's what I would do. After a DANMAKU battle that is!!!
YES!

@Zenigame-kun
Maybe your mom is trolling for attention. Have you been spending quality time with her lately? ;)

On a more serious note, hope you get it fixed without too much trouble. Have felt the same pain before when my mom messed up my desktop computer. ("Wait, mom, what did you just click OK to?" "I don't know, I didn't read it" *Computer goes BOOM!* "NOOOOOO!!!!111one" *whole week's free time gone down the drain*)

...well, my mother is certainly a total ⑨ when it comes to computers. It's both sad to watch and frustrating to put up with.

But the rest of the time, she's a Shikieiki.

Anon1 back again...

Maybe that means she subconsciously thinks her own one is already screwed up, so she's come to use yours? Could be her existing one has been effed with a gazillion toolbars or something.
Might be an idea to get hers to revert to an image every time it restarts...

I laughed hard when I read your mother is a Shikieiki! I assume you mean she loves to lecture, but I also imagine her being a total tsundere! You HAVE to get her a Rod of Remorse, if she doesn't already have one!
