TechnicDragon: Blog

It's amazing how much writing I've gotten done since my internet connection went down. I'm already up to chapter 16 and pouring out more details to use in later chapters everyday. I'm hoping to either get back online or find a cheap laptop so I can post new chapters in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully, I'll be close to finishing Rogue Magus by that time.

I'll do my best to keep my blog updated as often as possible.[posted using my phone]

Yesterday I had to replace my main hard drive. I happened to have a spare, so it wasn't a big deal. Today, however, my computer isn't detecting any drives, not even the DVD burner, all of which are SATA. I seriously doubt the drives are the issue this time. At the same time, I continue to get notifications from my ISP about my bill. I honestly don't know when I'll get my computer fixed or when I'll be able to post more chapters (much less be able to type them up). As soon as my status changes, I'll let everyone know.

Progress
Chapter 14 is almost complete. It's much longer than most of my chapters in the Sex Magus series, but it's worth it, IMO. :D

Problems
Good news in this area, I've fixed the issue. It was much simpler than I thought. So, now the only problem I have to worry about is the loss of internet access...

Internet Access
My internet bill was due yesterday: $142.xx. I know I can keep things going if I were to pay about $65.00. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Donations can be made via Paypal (technicdragon@gmail.com).

Seth is bound to have a break through. He just can't let Jordan remain hostage to a mad woman!

Thanks everyone!

Problem
Yesterday, I mentioned that my computer is having problems. I believe that the processor is to blame, at least the cache is anyway. Nothing I can do about it either.

Progress
I've made progress on the next chapter though I'm not sure when I'll be able to type it up and post it. I'll continue to work on it (both the story and the computer) and post blogs on my progress via my phone.

Problems:
Back in June, I blogged about how a lighting strike took out the modem and my NIC on my computer. My ISP replaced the modem at no cost and I ordered a replacement NIC. However, the damage NIC was built into the Mainboard, not a separate card. Today, I wake up to find my computer having memory dumps. I believe more than just the NIC was damaged that day. For that matter, I had to replace the video card recently too. I happened to have one so that wasn't an issue, but this memory issue is a bigger deal. I'm not sure if its the system memory, the processor or the mainboard. For that matter it could be all three. Looking online, I find that to replace everything with equivalent components will cost well over $200.00. Yet, on ebay, I find full desktop towers with better equipment for less. I know my stuff is old, I originally put this computer together back in 2005 and have been upgrading/replacing parts as needed since then. The problems I'm having now seem to indicate that I need to replace more than one or two things. I'm open to suggestions about this.

Progress:
I have two chapters ready to post and am working on a third. Considering I don't know how much longer my pc will hold up, I'll submit the two chapters now for posting. I can only hope I can get more done before I'm not able to do any work at all.

Internet Access:
The Internet bill is due again. $141.42 due by the 26th. Any donations are welcome. Paypal is the easiest way (technicdragon@gmail.com), but I have received money orders as donations too. I appreciate all the help.
