My PC, the one I do pretty darn near all my digital work on, is stuck with a blue screen of death. \u00a0Again.<\/p>\n
When this happened I was initially yelling at my computer at the top of my lungs and crying. \u00a0I have been so far unable to start it up [to desktop] but after some effort made it to the command prompt and am attempting a number of possible solutions. \u00a0I am incredibly frustrated and it goes pretty much without saying that I’m going to miss the April 10th goal I had set for myself regarding the video channel.<\/p>\n
I feel sometimes, no, I KNOW, that I’m doing things that push my pathetic hardware and tools to the breaking point. \u00a0I don’t have any other choice; this broken down pile of garbage is all I can currently afford. \u00a0If it goes down permanently I am stuck with a serious mountain of problems and I don’t know if my web network would survive that.<\/p>\n
I am selling a lot of old vintage books, or trying to, but although they are apparently of some value nobody is bidding on them. \u00a0I hope that someone buys something soon on Etsy or eBay, from me, as that would give me access to options like buying a good replacement video card sooner, rather than later, and having local backups of key files instead of relying solely on a cloud service. \u00a0Basically I get the sense that my workflow has a minimum of redundancy and that when one of a few dozen key things fails, everything in the pipeline grinds to a halt. \u00a0Maybe some things could even get ruined permanently as has happened occasionally before. \u00a0Things breaking, stalling, progress in fits and starts, is happening way too much lately. \u00a0Really hoping for a breakthrough here someday.<\/p>\n
I’ll keep you all posted as this fiasco progresses.<\/p>\n
Am hoping that some of you will buy something from me on Etsy as I am using this delay as an opportunity to make and post new art there and also some batches of old works I might as well list at low end prices.<\/p>\n
And again, there is the magazine stuff from 1964, I Maestri del Colori, old art publications that I am trying to sell right now, among other eBay listings.<\/p>\n
Thank you all for being so patient with me generally.<\/p>\n
I know this has been a long, slow wait.<\/p>\n
If you haven’t already noticed the ‘ways to help<\/a>‘ page on TriumphantArtists.com, um, now would be a good time to do something on that list so maybe, just maybe, I can get things moving again. \u00a0Again, thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My PC, the one I do pretty darn near all my digital work on, is stuck with a blue screen of death. \u00a0Again.
