Feeling... slightly better now, although the mood swings mean that could change at any moment. There's still no official due date for GIANT PROJECT OF DOOM, but I'm fairly sure it will be two days before the oral defense, so I have a week and a half. I'm finally getting around to installing Ubuntu to make my life easier programming-wise--this is perhaps not the wisest idea with a giant programming project hanging over my head and a backup computer that keeps crashing because its wireless is on the fritz, but worst-case scenario I can use the university computer lab.
Speaking of computers crashing, is anyone else having serious, serious problems with LJ and a site called outboundlink.net? Every time I bring up my flist, it spends an outrageous amount of time transferring data from some site called outboundlink.net (sometimes outboundlink.me), usually well after the page has loaded. On the Windows computer with a recent version of Firefox, I sometimes have to open links (not just to external pages but to comment pages on LJ) in a new tab because otherwise it takes so long trying to go through this outboundlink site that the connection just times out. On the Linux computer with a more ancient Firefox, I have the sneaking suspicion that this site might have to do with why the computer keeps freezing. I mean, it might be the wireless acting up, but usually the freeze happens while LJ is doing shady business with outboundlink.net/.me, and I don't have the time or the patience to test it and see whether it still freezes if I don't visit LJ.
