Captain’s (B)log: Limited Access

As some of you already know, my netbook’s screen is currently non-functional. I knew this was going to happen eventually/soon, but I had rather hoped it would wait until I was finished with a few projects.

I have owned the Rosalind (said netbook, for which this blog is named) for about four years, which is a long time for a netbook that has traveled as much as this one. She’s gone to New York, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, and South Carolina, been thrown in bags not designed for computer carrying on a nearly daily basis, walked with me back and forth to an ungodly number of jobs and volunteer duties, and has notably survived being accidentally thrown to the floor because I forgot she was in said inappropriate bag countless times.

She’s a good little netbook and I hope I can have her repaired and up for more crazy adventures soon. Since it is only the little wires between the screen and the rest of the computer that need fixing I am sure this can be done.

In the meantime… I will have limited computer access. My boss here at the business center is allowing me to use the office desktop computer whenever I am here on my own time. I could not be more grateful for that. (I will call this computer Silvius, to go with the “As You Like It” theme.)  

Anyways, if you feel like praying to the God of Netbook Maintenance and Repairs I would appreciate it. 

Captain Out.
