Hi readers,
Sad to report the possible death of my computer. 2009-2012. Not sure how this will affect the blogging schedule as I am poor and might not be able to replace it for a bit.
Love and Remorse///

Damn that computer. Doesn’t it know it is not only depriving you, but all of us of a special blog? Hope you find a replacement soon.
So sorry, Ashley!
Ashley? I now do all my computing, mobile style, via my iPod Touch 4G. Currently, I use it as both my blogging & as my video production machine.
We are now in the Post PC Era. Try to embrace it.

That’s impressive! I have enough trouble tweeting in my iPod, I could only imagine how you work such magic with your’s.
I purchased the iPod Touch 4G in December, 2010. I had the 2G & needed to upgrade.
I recently produced 7 Segments for a WebSeries based on a Cable TV Show. With 3 Production Apps, it gets the job done. For Writing, Quickoffice Pro allows me to read/write MS Office.
From January through April, 2011, I also produced sports programming on this iPod Touch 4G, 32GB.
I have been known to travel light. This iOS Device replaced an eMac.
Also, I have the WordPress App for iOS, which makes it possible to do this site. It makes it easy to place videos I have produced on to the site.
A friend of mine moved away from Desktop to the iPad. This is why I feel that the Big Box Computer Era is over. With iOS 5 for iPhone/iPod Touch & iPad, it means that these devices upgrade over the air, as these are devices not needing to be hooked up to the “MotherShip” computer. These are computers in their own right.

My primary production apps are Splice, Vimeo, iMovie & now SocialCam. A lot gets done with these apps.
I like it like that.
I also, via VoIP Apps, use this Touch as a mobile phone(Via Wi Fi).
Sorry to hear that, Ashley. 😦
I hope you can get it resurrected or another blogging solution soon.
I know what its like to be without a computer, and at times it sucks, Good thing I only two blocks away from the library. I do hope you can get a new one soon.
I hope someone comes to the rescue. You have a lot to say.
Very sad news. RIP computer.
As the broke user of a similarly knackered PC born in 2007, I share your frustration. Microbudgetingproductions is a little bit early in announcing that we are in “…the post-PC era…” But then again, maybe they are throwing out an old tower or laptop which they clearly no longer need…? 😉
It seemed weird to like a post that is reporting a loss… so sorry. Hope to hear from you soon.
sad face
I am a dinosaur. When I was on the road last month for work or vacation and sans PC, I had a god-awful time trying to blog. Maybe you could plan some kind of Ocean’s Eleven-style heist to acquire some unique computing machine? It could be an interesting story…
Good luck!
not having a computer is a stressful experience, we have all become so used to having at least one in the house and always being able to work and to be in touch with the world. When my PC broke about 3 years ago, the only option was in the public library, when it was open. Luckily i-pods and mobile phones can get us online nowadays, but you can’t really write on a phone :o(
Hope you find a solution soon…
sorry, that was meant to be a 😦 i’m a bit rubbish at emoticons
If the main disc croaked, maybe you could replace that. It isn’t hard to pull it out, replace and reformat a new drive… Hope your stuff was backed up. Considering a Mac next time around, and wanting to try an SSD instead…
Sounds above my ability. I’m going to try to take it to the Mac store next weekend and they’ll prob try to sell me a new computer *sigh*
I’m replacing my mac this month, too. I feel your pain!
Hope you find an Internet cafe until you can fix your PC.
I’m a hipster, it was a Mac 😉
Oh sorry! I was even going to say get a Mac! Hang on a minute, tho, your Mac broke? That never happens! Apple should replace it. Their reputation is at stake.
get on Craigslist and see if you can trade something for a newer PC
Feeling yr pain, I must say three years is about it for the kind I buy — refurbished, $300 or so. Am in the same boat, I sadly fear, though my new Advance Systems Care from Iobit has done some nice things to speed me up.
I got a refurbished phone a few years ago, but it crapped out pretty quickly do I am weary of the refurbished. Good luck!
Hang in there, Ashley!
R.I.P. I know it had a good and useful life! You can be at peace knowing it brought inspiration and a smile to many.
This made me smile. Thanks!
I’m sorry to hear that. Take care of your iPod – last lifeline!
Will do! I think iPods are designed to last longer than laptops.
Hmm…if it’s an iPod touch, it probably will. I would definitely recommend a Mac for your next purchase. They will seem more expensive at the outset, but in the long run you will never look back.
Blue as blue can get 😦
No,not like a smurf..
Wish you a quick recovery.

A moment for all the computers that didn’t make it: http://img1.etsystatic.com/il_570xN.302560237.jpg
Please accept our sincere condolences and our hope for restoration as quickly as possible.
Sending sympathy on the loss.
Hope you can blog from your iPod again.
Oh darn, accept condolences on my behalf hon. Hope and praying you’ll get over the tragic loss soon.

Get back quick…
Be encouraged!
Computers just don’t usually die Ashley. Did you let your virus protection run out? What happend?
What do we do without computers anymore? I hope you get a new one pretty soon.
Hate such events. I hope you can find a fix or replacement soon.
Well. Thank goodness for ipad?
Mine just took a crap on me also. glad for my phone, tablet and ipod…. Haha
Check out a local college or University library. They normally allow visitors to use their computers for free.
oh noooo.
As I mentioned about blogging from my iPod Touch 4G, I am blogging right now from it from a nearby Wi Fi Hotspot.
I know that thumbing everything can be a bit annoying, but one can still do an effective blog.

Sure hope you had a backup?! I hate when that happens and it seems computer life spans are getting shorter. What’s with that? Sorry to hear this news.
I don’t “like” this at all. I just found you! No fair!
