Author ninja's next-door neighbor's house was struck by lightning, everyone is ok but it caused alot of damage to the house and everything around it. It also blew out AN's internet connection(the actual outdoor cable is completely fried), monitor and graphics card (Which is a shame.. it was quite new). The rest of the computer seems okay though there might also be some damage to the power supply, I don't have any pci express graphics cards to test with to make sure that its the only internal component that was damaged.

Please send donations to him to help get his pc working again.
Note: also needs better surge protector.


Author Update:

This is Artie now. Rhylith, my webmaster, made this picture. I'm at a friends house leeching off their internet now.

Update: My HD monitor is slag. I think my video card is fried as well, But one of my computer friends has one they aren't using so I'll be transferring my hard drives to it. I think they weren't affected by the storm. But as far as I know, the internet is still down because the router is also fried.

Now, since my little Hiatus has been extended without my consent, I decided to ask this:

My original plan was to come off the little Tutorial break and start off this winter with the continuation of the Christmas special I started last year. But Since I am not sure when I'm going to be back exactly, am giving you the option:

When I come back, do you want to continue with the current storyline, or do you want me continue the Christmas special?

I wanted to leave you hanging with the cliffhanger, but the Christmas thing is a cliffhanger I've left for 11 months now. I can pick it up a little after Christmas.

So, let me know what you want and I'll try to get back online ASAP

I'd like to see the continuation of the Xmas special, but only AFTER we know what the heck happened with that bike bomb.

XD Wish I wasn't broke... that's nasty.
Best I can say is... generally decent prices at Newegg... and if there's one near you Frys and sometimes microcenter.
Good luck...

If it was able to kill your graphics card, you are definitely gonna want to replace your power-supply. Even if it is bootable I doubt its still within tolerances and could kill other things latter... *sigh* Capacitors.

And as for "better surge protector" I recommend a power-regulating UPS, they tend to function as very good surge protectors and offer protection from some other issues. Cost ya round 50-75$... but they make power flickers at most only flicker your internet XD...
(such as low voltage, which can kill a power-supply faster than the average surge... although lighting is a bit des-ex-machima)

Dang. That sucks. I know how you feel though. My house has legendary lightning attraction characteristics. We've experienced electrical meters literally blowing off the side of the house, in-ground telephone junctions flying through the air and landing in the street, dozens of fried electronics, and several other exploding things. Only one fire so far though, so I guess we are lucky on that. lol.

After this happening three times, we decided to just get a whole home surge protector. Its a beast. Haven't had any trouble since.

That sucks...Never had that happen to me. Although when I was six the manhole outside my house was struck. I was watching too, cuz it was raining and I was bored, since my parent's wouldn't let me go outside. In hindsight, that was a good thing.
