In case anyone doesn't know, I now have a Justin.TV account. The quality isn't great but at least I got the audio working.  You can watch me draw (mostly my comic) here:

It's safe for work, but I mostly listen to heavy metal and tend to curse now and again, so be prepared.

Speakin' of which, why don't you guys c'mon down?  I'm gonna be doing one in a few minutes, and guess what?  You're invited.

J.H.

My laptop is dead, and it looks like Data Recovery will be my only option to get back whatever was left on there.  Through Geek Squad that's a 250$ deposit.  Just for a deposit.  I can't imagine it costing anymore than 400 bucks to get the data off.

That said, I do have some good news:
I paid Verizon the last of my money. That means I save an extra 140 a month, and I don't have to give them anymore money.
I got Photoshop CS5.1  And I'm LOVING IT.  This is the first legitimately obtained copy of Photoshop I have ever gotten.  CS3 was...cracked and hacked.  It worked, but I like owning things.  It's a homeless thing, when you have nothing or next to nothing for a few years, owning things makes you feel like...you got your life back.

On a side note I will be rebuilding my desktop as we go (Intel i5 3.3ghz, Intel motherboard, 8gb DDR3 RAM, clear acrylic case, and maybe a 1000watt power supply).  Also I will be rebuilding my 83 Honda Interceptor.  Good fun.

We're still going through the first Issue of Triune, with this little hiccup with my laptop, it will setback progress though, not by much.

Overall, came out even.  More or less happier than two weeks ago.

I'm sure I can still get the data off of it, maybe, but I can do nothing with my laptop, so no updates or nothing.

Unless someone here can tell me what I can do when it infinitely boot loops and I'm unable to get into safe mode.
