R.I.P. CRT

So my monitor died on Saturday morning. It was acting strangely for some days and I knew it would happen soon. But when it did, I was somewhat unprepared because I was in the midst of preparing some things. On Friday evening, I had prepared a little Flash movie that I wanted to post as a 9/11-special as the Kotogoto index page on Monday. I tried to organize a replacement monitor from my uncle and others, but there was none available. And don't ask me why I don't just go and buy the next bext TFT. I might write a book about that later, or maybe not. Well, fact is that the Flash animation could not appear at Kotogoto, and for the same reason, there have been no Daily images since Friday.

Having a pc at home, but no chance to access it made me realize how technology's got its clutches around us at all times without us even noticing. During the weekend I was thinking a lot about the potential tons of important mails that I could receive but not be able to read. When I checked my mail at work on Monday morning, I realized that from 8 mails I got, 5 were spam, and the other three were from friends, but by no means urgent.

Anyway, I ordered a new monitor (and yes, it's a CRT, and I had to order it because no store in town sells CRT's anymore) which should arrive in two or three days. And then I will also be able to check the two cameras full of pictures that I took last weekend.
