OH NOES
So here’s what happened over the past couple of weeks:
First, my laptop started to die.
Then, my laptop continued to die.
Then, my laptop died.
So I’ll be back to blogging (and my pile of unanswered emails and Ravelry PMs – I’m sorry!) when the laptop gets replaced or perhaps brought back to life in zombie laptop form.
(Incidentally, I am typing this from an ancient, hateful computer that hisses at me. I think it may try to bite me.)

Awwwwww, poor dear! My compy has been in a slow death, I fear it’s going to need a wiping and reinstalling of windows. And I’m not looking forward to backing up my hard drive, I tell you that. You should knit a funeral shroud for your lappy. or a chewtoy for the hateful hissy comp.
5 Mar 2008 at 1:19 pmOh, that’s the worst. My last laptop was limping along until I…wait for it…if you don’t like perversion you should stop reading now…killed it with a teabag. Yes. I teabagged my computer to death. Go me. It would have been hilarious if I weren’t writing my dissertation at the time.
5 Mar 2008 at 1:55 pmOh, that sucks! Maybe the hissy computer really is your laptop in some kind of body-snatching zombie form. That could explain the hatefulness.
5 Mar 2008 at 2:52 pmIsn’t it sad how much we rely on computers? Mine died a few months ago and I was just horrified by how helpless I was.
You need to make friends with the hissing computer. Perhaps it’s just jealous of the attention your laptop got. Knit the hissing computer a keyboard cozy or a CPU scarf. Perhaps it’ll make it happy and it’ll stop hissing.
Or at least be muffled.
5 Mar 2008 at 9:22 pmMy guess is it was so confused by your last pattern with the hidden messages it got brain overload, lol
I haven’t tried that scarf yet, I am still wrapping my brain around how seeming uncomplicated that secret code appears to be.
Hope you get a new laptop soon, I sure wish I had one.
6 Mar 2008 at 8:52 amWhew! So we don’t need to send an ambulance for you. I was starting to worry. What a fun excuse to go and buy a new gizmo.
6 Mar 2008 at 11:45 amBeware the zombie laptop!
6 Mar 2008 at 1:49 pmThe jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Hmmm…my laptop battery is dying. Maybe it’s contagious.
OH MY LORD – YOUR BLOG COULD BE A VECTOR FOR THE DUMB!!!!
6 Mar 2008 at 2:28 pm:) I’m glad its “just” the laptop. I was beginning to worry.
6 Mar 2008 at 8:10 pmI’m so sorry this happened to you too! I am only just getting my act back together after my hard drive died – it’s scary how much of my life I keep on my computer. Even a zombie laptop is better than no laptop at all – I’d watch that hissing computer though – it could be snakes :-)
9 Mar 2008 at 1:01 amPersonally, I’m hoping for the laptop to come back to life in zombie form.
Neck bolts and all (screen bolts?).
9 Mar 2008 at 1:29 pmI used to have a computer that occasionally grunted at people. The funniest part was, it was a Mac (my first one!), and the people it grunted at just happened to be the people who were really not happy that they were using a Mac. Somehow, they *know*.
9 Mar 2008 at 1:59 pmI hope you’re able to get a new lap top soon. I miss your blog posts :)
19 Mar 2008 at 7:13 pmAlso awaiting your return to blogging. I hope this computer problem gets sorted out!
28 Mar 2008 at 10:56 amDear ancient hissing computer,
Please return our dear blogger to her blog. We are nothing without her half-assed knit blog. :(
Thank you.
31 Mar 2008 at 5:53 pmArgh! I hope your compy woes are cured soon.
