Blue Screen Of Death

I just had a BSOD, and I’m still shaking. Kinda that feeling when you narrowly miss being in a bad car accident, ya know?
My life revolves around my computer. Everything I do for work, everything I do for play, all of my friends, all of my recreation, the time I spend with my wife, my music, my photos, etc. It’s all contained in this little aluminum and plastic box sitting on my desk. |

Yes, I know. That’s pathetic and sad Wulfgar. If you’re a geek, you understand. If you’re not…well…you wouldn’t understand. |
As smart and as pretty as I am, you’d think I’d be running with backups and redundant systems and safety measures. I’m not.
But, as soon as my heart stops fluttering, I’m going to look all of that stuff up and start building. I’ll post updates here as I go.
I’m going to go lay in bed for a bit to calm down.

Install Ubuntu, dude! Seriously. There’s very little you can’t do in Linux that you can do in Windows. Since you already own a copy of Windows, and probably own a copy of the software you run on Windows, you have the rights to run a Xen virtual machine running Windows for those pieces of software you cannot find equivalents for. Additionally, you can buy a copy of Cross-over Linux to run that Windows software with native Linux libraries. Works great!
Hope you resolve your BSoD soon…
I think you’ve convinced me. I’ll go for it!
