Laptop Computer Crashes & Blog Posts Of The Week 10

WOW! It’s been 2 months since the last edition of my top blog posts of the week and I really have to apologize to you guys for the break in transmission. lol. It so happens that immediately after I left camp, I had a wonderful welcome back post drafted only to lose it to a minor accident that went major.

As I was adding finishing touches to that blog post, I mistakenly spilled yoghurt on my laptop and the keyboard went berserk. All effort to salvage the damn thing left me with a partially functioning keyboard and 3 days later while fooling around, for a definite solution, my laptop crashed.

That crash led to the loss of 90% of all my precious data including my past and recent blog posts. Some of you might have noticed that for like 3 weeks, I’ve been recycling posts that had previously appeared @ my pet/defunct project, PatchworkOfTips. Well I had to do so in order not to break my posting schedule of every Monday, Wednesday and Friday due to the lack of a functional computer.

Anyway the posts weren’t gathering as much as attention as they are now, while they were @ PatchworkOfTips which I’m currently revamping again!

With the help of the Google, I’ve been able to salvage my laptop and all that’s left is to find a replacement keyboard. In the mean time, my laptop has been "frankinsteined" into a desktop cos of the external USB keyboard, I’m now forced to use pending when my dealer finds  a replacement keyboard or when I travel back to the city of Lagos to get a new laptop (whichever comes first).

Either way, I’m back and I hope we can pick up from where we left so let’s go!

My fellow Nigerians if you’ve been asked by an online business, to submit a scanned copy of your credit/debit card for verification purposes and you kinda felt insulted, do not be as it happens the world over as some bloggers complained to Tran Tinh after they heeded the call to take advantage of Netfirms $1 .com domain names.
