We have an infestation of mould mites. These insects seem to love any sort of electrical item in the house and have taken up residence in my laptop. Niiiice. They are apparently extremely resilient to insecticides (as I know - I've tried most household sprays and stuff. Can't really do anything else since they're in electrical items) and can't be hoovered up either. URGH.
Turns out they love humidity and since our house is always cold (yay for condensation everywhere) they've made their home here. No wonder I have unexplained eczema all over my hands and I itch all over. Stupid bugs.
We either need a dehumidifier (can't afford one though) or for pest control to fumigate the house (can't afford that either). Joyous joy.
Really didn't need this, what with all the work I need to do right now (and most of it is to be done on my laptop as well). Grrr.

As tempting as the idea is, I refuse to be paid to blog. My site is not a tool for anyone - least of all me - to make money; it serves as a creative outlet for me so that I can show off my super-1337 intarwebz sk1llz1!11 because I'm geeky and I simply must have an internet presence.
Do you see any advertising on this site (other than a couple of links to similar sites, but they are all non-profit and generally agree with me on this standpoint)? No (unless you're reading this on Vox, which has ads to support its free services). There will never be advertising on this site, and especially not spam disguised as a blog entry. I am not going to lie through my teeth and bore all 2 of my visitors to death by talking about how great it is now that my [begin obligatory link] mortgage debts [/end obligatory link] have been cleared by some scammy company or how I really should be [link!1!1] losing weight [/link] by taking some dodgy pill just to get $5 out of it. I could work a real job (*gasp!* Those actually still exist!1!) and get that in under an hour.
Want to lose all your visitors? Go ahead, sell your site. And your soul. To me, you just look greedy and like you can't be bothered to go out and get a real job.
