I'm back from my residential thingy. It was fine, the staff were friendly and it snowed for 3 days so there were plenty of snowball fights- all good fun
So I arrived yesterday afternoon, switched on the PC and after 15 minutes it switched itself off, let off a pretty loud bang and emitted some smoke. Not good. I have no idea if I'll be able to rescue anything off the hard drive. Luckily I'd saved some stuff I'd been working on to a USB before I left.
I've brought down the even older, even slower Pentium 3 from the loft (probably about 9 yrs old). It has a whopping 601MHz processor and 256mb of RAM... I can't even play a music vid on youtube and surf DA at the same time, and even scrolling is jerky. I tried opening a 10mb file on PS and it took several minutes. >.<
My Mum says I have to wait about 4 or 5 months until we get anything new. Wtf. Can anyone see the sense in that???! I'm going to whinge and whine and have a tantrum until she gives in and gets a cheap CPU from Dell or something. I don't hold out much hope though...

Why me? >_>

A return perhaps?
So as you may have noticed for the past year I haven't updated my DA at all. This is because I haven't really had anything to update it with! I guess you could say I have been 'inactive', disappearing from the scene and quite sadly losing motivation and inclination.
Apart from a couple of pieces I did for my small-scale design course which ended 6 months ago, Photoshop has barely been opened. I remember when I used to wonder if I would ever go a day without loading it up and fiddling with something :(. I still idle and lurk around here and several other of my favourite creative sites, but I would much rather be in the open displaying some ne
