Which means Pixelframe is postponed indefinitely and I am gonna brush up on reading some computer books. Its so depressing not having a hard disk to save stuff on and things like that …

My computer isn't going to be repaired atleast till next Sunday. So I am stuck just reading CSS Mastery and browsing the web. Everything is delayed.
