Back Soon!
I’m sorry about the lack of updates but I had a computer meltdown. So far, I’ve spent a ton of time and quite a bit of money trying to resurrect what was a pretty sweet computer system before this shit. I bought a new graphics card and replaced the power supply and have optimized everything blah blah blah. The computer runs now, but it runs like shit. I mean, loading a web page takes forever. Photoshop never finishes adding a filter. Stuff like that.
So, today I went online to The New CompUSA and bought a brand new computer system. Well, actually, I bought a bunch of parts that, when I add them together with my new graphics card and power supply, will give me a Brand New Computer. I chose two-day shipping, so it should arrive on Thursday. In the meantime, I am going to work on a comic and try to post that on Thursday, assuming that I get home from work and manage to put the computer together before, say, 2am. Or maybe I will even be able to pump out the comic on my halting, shitty computer.
Anyway, this fucking sucks. I will blog about this some more sometime.

Well thank Jesus you’re working on it because I was just coming here to complain that I was tired of looking at the cake post even though I loved it.
Even ice cream can get boring if you eat it every day.
i know what you’re talking about--i see it every day at work.
general slowness can be hardware or software. it may be just a runaway process or or a virus sucking up cpu. is this a windows system?
hit ctrl alt delete and go into task manager.
click on the process tab and then click on CPU column twice to sort by CPU usage descending order.
the top of the list should basically always be System Idle Process or something to those words.
if a process is at the top hogging cpu it will show up here.
sometimes legitimate processes get hung up and continually suck up resources.
you can try to right click on the process and select END PROCESS.
if the issue is hardware it would likely be a drive. is it making any noises? clicking, clunking, rattles, etc?
it could also be memory. while in the task manager, click on the performance tab and look at physical memory. the total should be approximately equal to what you’ve got installed in the computer. if not there could be other issues.
Hi Crissy and Ken,
I am back online and almost ready to post! Crissy, I’m sick of Cake, too! I have been off the internet for way too long!
Ken, dude, you have no idea. To just scratch the surface, my router (and, it turns out, a bunch of routers) is incompatible with Vista. And because I got my router from vinage and it keeps my phone running, I can’t just go buy a new one! And I had nothing but hardwarde problems. As an example, I bought a new motherboard, right? And it wouldn’t work. It started to install Vista and then would quit in the middle of the installation. Well, in the end, the problem was that the motherboard was delivering 1.5v to the memory and not 1.8v. Solution: adjust the voltage to the RAM. Shit like that happened a million times in the 48 hours since I got the parts.
Anyway, it’s working awesome now. So, I’m going to spend some time in photoshop with a comic I worked on and post that tonight. I figure I have a lot of posting to do in the next few days to make up!
