Yeah yeah, I know. Too many self-diagnosed people running around that asperger's became an excuse for shitty social skills. That's not to say that Asperger's doesn't exist or can be problematic for some people, but being an asshole != aspergers.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

I always liked the people who called it asbergers or some other variation of hilarious misspelling.
Uh, the name change. I don't give a shit what we're called now, I am a freakin' Aspy and proud of it!
Hehe. Ass burgers.
But you previously had said you don't want to be defined by it, while referencing it every chance you got. Is this dichotomy caused by your aspergers?
Okay that was a good one I'll admit, but it just feels like they are wiping it off the face of history. Am I annoyed when people think thats the only thing about me? Yes, but it is still part of me none the less and I do have some pride in that as confusing as it may be.
The worst part about looking for a job is getting up early and seeing my dogs still sleeping on my bed. It's like they're taunting me. At least I feel like I've earned a nap later, though.
So WV returns can be e-filed starting today? Not exactly. Kept getting a generic error when I tried to file. Called support. They had me download and install standalone version instead of using web site. That version says I can't even start on the state return until next Friday. Support puts me on hold to investigate. Yep. Can't file with state until next week. 
You want Indian food.
I love Yelp's search. I use -nearest- and it gives me a fantastic list of stuff to choose from with good ratings.
Hasn't failed me yet. I've found amazing hole-in-the-wall restaurants I would have never found otherwise.
I really gotta do more yoga, my back feels like its covered in broken glass.

My laptop boots up, I can get my desktop...and then it pretty much freezes. I get an error trying to bring up the task manager. I get an error trying to close the computer down by hitting the power button. I can't even bring up the power-down menu, so only way to turn it off right now is by pressing the power button for 10 seconds. I get an error trying to start msconfig. I tryied booting in safe mode with prompts, but halfway through it stops, freezes for a bit, then reboots into normal mode without explanation.
I can -just about- start a window of explorer, sometimes...But it usually freezes for long periods too.
As far as I can tell, not begin able to execute anything from the command line (it took more than 5 minutes to register "msconfig" and a few minutes more before it accepted my pressing the enter key, only to get the error a little while later), not being able to boot into safe mode, not being able to open a browser, and not able to see what the FFFF is wrong = computer not getting fixed easily. Damn damn damn damn damn
For the record, he seems to stop and reboot in starting safe mode when he gets to drivers/AlphaFF - but I have no clue what that is.

Symptoms describe a corrupted AlfaFF.sys file or infected. Should be able to find a fix for this somewhere online

I have the AlfaFF fix thingie on a USB stick now, next problem is getting it onto the pc, since it won't actually start anything that can help me execute the file....
And I don't have a Windows disc, since this is an OEM, otherwise I'd be reïnstalling right now
Marching ever onwards...I'll get this fixed eventually, but it's my one free day this week
[DOUBLEPOST=1358791645][/DOUBLEPOST]a-heh. Now I get error messages saying explorer.exe needs to shut down. Starting the windows explorer (and I'm aware explorer.exe is NOT the explorer but the actual program I see as desktop and start menu), I got a memory error because there was an I/O problem at 0xc0000185. Lovely. Guess Ill be taking a screwdriver to my laptop to look for loose cables.

I just feel like I'm in a rut. I haven't come up with a new idea, and the ideas I'm working on I don't know what to do with. I just feel empty.
Time to let the brain regenerate, then. I recommend reading someplace quiet.
You spend all this time creating stuff, now it's time to let other people show you their creations for a while.
Here's a start.

Man winters are rough here, it is still down to 70 degrees out there...
That's what I have to say to that.
But, but, I had to drive to lunch with the windows down and the sunroof open, because it was too cold for the air conditioner.

You think you got it bad in this punishing Texas January, my central AC at home has broken! I have to open all the doors and windows and turn on all the fans!
My rage can only be controlled with gifs now.
Your polarnudism and insulating beard impress no one.[DOUBLEPOST=1358971281][/DOUBLEPOST]NO OOOOOOOONE
Was clipping my hair last night, shaving it down as per usual, I had done a good 1/3rd of the front - and the razor died.
Went to my backup razor and shaved the rest; except the other razor didn't cut it short enough so I had a large patch of very short hair surrounded by a little bit longer (and darker hair) all around it.
Frustrated, I ended up biccing the whole thing. I am an idiot.

I have! It was really chilly a few nights ago when I was at the park with my kids. The tradewinds were blowing pretty hard and the sun was going down. It was about 72 F out there. Brr.
