Thursday night, right after updating this website, my video card went bananas. Because I am half-retarded, I didn’t figure this out until after I thought the OS was boned. Luckily I had an external hard drive that automatically backs up my comics and a beater laptop so I didn’t lose anything important or miss my deadlines.
It sucks to lose a day doing computerly housekeeping, but at least I got rid of a lot of the cruft that’s accumulated on my machine over the years. The only losses were some photos from college. But I don’t really need pictures of me giving the thumbs up in various stages of inebriation.

Don’t worry Brian. I have quintuple backup of those pictures. It’ll take simultaneous nuclear fallout of both the west and east coast to take those photos from existence.

If that’s the case, we can only hope for the downfall of society.
