# The Triumph of Laziness over Adversity
In late February my desktop computer started failing – to be precise it started rebooting spontaneously. I am pretty sure it started while I was out of town for a couple of days; I remember getting home, turning on the monitor and thinking “I didn’t log out, did I?”.
The desktop has since become unusable which I believe I have mentioned before. Allow me to then catalog the tasks that result directly from this that I am just too lazy to do.
- Memtest the ram chips. As a friend has already told me, if I can’t even motivate to do this simple task, there is no hope for me at all.
- Install win 2k on a spare box I have (Pentium 333 I think) and use it as a print server. It should be noted that this is already a lazier solution than my original plan to work out how to run the printer in linux.
- Even lazier, move the printer from my computer to Ds
- Extract my mail archives from the old hard drive and copy them to my notebook, so that I can access a variety of important emails.
To date, every time I think of doing one of these things, somehow my brain takes over and starts up World of Warcraft.
I…I am going to have a problem with the second step; don’t even get me started on the ludicrousness of steps 3, 5-7, and 11.
