Some of you may have noticed my nearly complete absense on Blockland and its respective forum recently. This is the reason why, for those who give a care: Monday or Tuesday two weeks ago, there was a Drama topic regarding overuse of emoticons. At least one of my posts in that topic resulted in a one week ban from posting and PMing because of spam. At approximately 1 or 2:00 in the morning local time on the Monday before the ban ended, I began to smell smoke from my computer room. My computer froze and refused to start up. The computer encountered this problem on May 31st, while its warrantee expired on May 29th. It turns out that the problem was its video card, a GeForce 8500 or so. It was replaced with something along the lines of a 9500, and is currently in my mother's car, on its way home once she returns from golf. tl;dr: I was banned from the forum for a week, but before it ended, my computer's video card overheated. |

In fact, I had it off, ready for bed, when I thought to check on something, so I turned it on. Some time after that is when the smell of smoke began. |
