Than any Russian play could guarantee

I am posting from spatch's computer. I may have killed the new keyboard on mine. If so, I have killed the computer. If so, I have no way of communicating with anyone (or finishing the review I was working on) until I have a new computer. Which I cannot afford. I will have some idea in the morning. I may be offline for much longer. I am trying not to be pessimistic, but I am not in good shape right now. If you are feeling sentimental toward hardware or people who would like to remain employed, please wish Bertie Owen good luck. He is nine years old and the Apple equivalent of the ship of Theseus and I do not want to lose him for many reasons, including I am afraid the coldly fiscal. I don't live with a lot of margin of error right now.

"...please wish Bertie Owen good luck."

I will do so. And you as well.

(Actually, I'll probably light a candle.)

Wishing you luck and free IT and spontaneous keyboard healing.

Aw! *sends good luck and computer-healing wishes* I may also light a candle, if I can find a flat surface to put it on. ;P

[thisbluespirit]

Oh no! :/


I hope rumours of the keyboard's demise have been exaggerated.

I wish Bertie the very best of luck. If he doesn't make it, we may have a spare laptop you can use; drop me a note.

Oh, dear! Touching wood for better news of the invalid.

[moon_custafer]

Ow. Prayers for Bertie Owen.

[umadoshi]

Oh no! Good luck, Bertie Owen.

Oh no oh no oh fuck. Fingers crossed. Bertie, pull through!
(If, keyn ayin hora, Bertie has passed to Bertie's eternal reward, which, fuck no, would you be averse to crowdfunding on your behalf?)

You can't plug in an external keyboard? During a recent issue with my keyboard I used a wireless USB keyboard my bff bought for $7.

All the best wishes and hopes for your computer's recovery in general.
