Just a quick message to warn you all, that my laptop is most likely going to die later on in the week or something.

What happened was,  a moth landed on my keyboard and since I absolutely despise  those, I tried to kill it quickly. So I impulsively  slammed a book on it, when it was off the keyboard but it still hit the keyboard. Part of it still hit the keyboard and I got a blue screen. Now I'm getting faint worrying noises from the hard drive and I'm just really scared it'll crash any minute, or the next time I turn it on it'll give me another blue screen. Or maybe blue screens will keep happening during subsequent sessions. Plus it had trouble connecting to the internet to start with. The thing about moths though, is that their flight patterns are sporadic so the strategy is to hit it while it's rested on something. It happened to be resting on the bed and I could have waited it out, but  I don't want that scum flying around my room, so I try to end its life as soon as I can.

It just so happened I hit the laptop in the process.

Just so you all know, in case I slip into activity again.

DISCLAIMER: I'm only highlighting this because it's actually important and concerns my moderating duties. They may cease because of this.
