I have a terrible cold, and after 18 hours of sleep last night, and the reading of several HP Lovecraft’s short stories, I just couldn’t take it anymore! I HAD to get to the comp, but the cold doesn’t let me stay out of bed for any more than an hour or two at a time.

So, as the subject suggests, I’ve turned my flat upside down and moved the ol’ PC next to my bed! Now I can surf the net, watch Neon Genesis Evangelion and play Civ3, all the time staying nice and warm under the blankets. I think I’m in heaven…

Anyone else ever tried this?
