Precautionary Slowatus (or: Why, Computer, Why???)

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Sooo... Something amazing and annoying is happening with my keyboard at the moment. All of a suddaaen [sic]. See that? See, if I hit the "D" button for too long or too hard, it comes up with both d and a (daaddaaaaddaa <--for example). This is awesome

I'm thinking this may finally be the hardware failure to end all hardware failures with this computer (hell, it's five years old, at least, and has a busted hinge, a failing ethernet port, no USB capabilities, no CD or DVD capabilities, and a nicked screen, to say nothing of the numberous virus attacks I've endured).

Anyway, just a notice here that, if I vanish or lag or get slow with tags, it's because I'm fed up with this annoyance. Likewise, this whole thing may just mean that my computer is in its daeath [sic] throes andaa [sic] I may vanish until I can wrangle a new machine or a fix for this one. We shall see. I'm not gone, I'm just going "arrrrgh!!" for a bit. I'm still here! It's just taking me longer to type tags and so on.

tl;dr: Caru's computer wants its "Da Da" apparently >:| And if anyone has a fix for this, I'd love to hear it.

This goes for:
Cain (misterblackbird)
Maria (agoodchild)
Alice (othersideofwhat)

DAAAMN [sic] I AM ANNOYEDAA [sic].

Well, you have to admit, the timing's pretty suspect.

(Poor backspace key. :( )

...The closest I have to that is 80s!Ray. :\ /uses to vaguely match

It really is.

(It's that or abuse CTRL + V or something... SOMEONE has to suffer in Ds place.)

I'LL TAKE IT /o/

I think it knooooows. It'll probably stop doing it once father's day is over and done with.

(You could stop using words with D in them?)

HURRAH FOR BUBBLE PERMS. \o/

...that would be nice, I have to admit.

(BUT D IS FOR LOTS OF THINGS ;; )

Pfffft oh 1980s~
