March 28th : I couldn’t type anything while playing CIV 4. Restarted laptop and everything was ok.

March 29th : No problems

March 30th : Strange… some key is stuck, preventing me from typing… after some keymashing I find that it’s my Ctrlkey. I checked my windows settings but sticky keys were off. Restarting the laptop would solve the problem for a bit. This occurred 6 times, mostly while I was working on my FAP assignment >.>

March 31st : Ctrl key is stuck again… this time restarting the laptop didn’t work. Upon restarting I would get an error about how a key was being pressed or stuck or something. After like 5 restarts it finally boots up. Windows boots up and I noticed the ctrl key was stuck right away. So then I took the Ctrl keys off the keyboard hoping it would fix them problem, no luck there. Then I disconnected the keyboard from the motherboard. Ditto. At wits end, I was about to go call Dell and see if they could send me a replacement keyboard. But I wasn’t sure if it was a hardware problem since it didn’t look like the key was stuck… everything looked like it was in working order. To prove it was hardware… I dug up this :

I started to pick it up… and noticed it was connected to my Usb hub…… which was connected to the laptop (since I was backing up some stuff on Sunday). Oh hey… what key is that on the bottom?

Time spent wasted : 2hrs 27 mins
Lesson learned : I am stupid bad keyboard IMO D=

What I still don’t understand is why restarting the computer fixed the problem on the 30th?

Ummm… so.

I guess an excuse for the lack of posts is in order… letsee… so we have:

• lack of motivation(and ikimashou.net going kaboom didnt help)
• work work
• trip home to Toronto
• PS3

So I’ve been busy with work this week and I haven’t really had much free time other than to come home to sleep. As a result I’m behind in everything I’m watching… luckily a new anime season means I’m not behind if I didn’t watch it in the first place! Of course when I have more free time in a few weeks I’ll probably pick up more shows to watch. Currently I’m still watching (number of episodes to catch up on):

• Anime
  • Hayate no Gotaku! (0)
  • Shakugan no Shana II (1)
  • Clannad (1)
  • Lovely Complex (1)
  • EF - A tale of memories (0)
  • Bokurano (1)
  • Naruto (0)
  • Kimkiss Pure Rogue (1)
  • Potemayo (6)
• TV
  • CSI (Las Vegas) Season 8 (2)
  • Heroes Season 2 (2)
  • Weeds (err all of season 2 and the 2-3 eps in season 3 so far)

As you can see… I’m quite behind. And I don’t think I’ll be caching up in the near future =( My lack of free time is taking a toll and when I say lack of free time, it is:

Free time = total time - time @ work - time sleeping - time spent studying - time spent cleaning/shower/other misc stuff you need to do = 0

Well I do exaggerate a bit seeing how I did have enough time to write this… but my weekends are dedicated to studying since during weekdays I’m just soooo tired after work (Its usually 1am or so when I get home anyways). I do use those precious few hours/minutes of free time either watching some anime (thus why I’m actually not that behind unless you count TV shows.. XD) or programming. Yes.. programming. I actually enjoy it and find it quite stress relieving… >.>

Speaking of free time… I can’t beilieve I wasted 20 minutes of my precious free time watching Dragonaut! If anyone ever watched/read Gravitation thinking it was a space anime… you’ll know what I mean when I say DRAGNAUT IS NOT A SPACE ANIME >.< I’ll make a more specific post about it later *shivers*
