It's always sad when a monitor dies (Patreon)

I posted this to my FA earlier, but I figured I should put it here too, since it's mostly Patron request images that are going to be affected. Hopefully, it won't be for long, though:

---------------------------------------------

Hiya folks.. just a quick heads-up.

I'm going to be operating in low power mode for the next few days.

My aging I-INC iP221 flatscreen monitor has finally died. It's slowly

been getting dimmer and dimmer over the past few weeks, and about twenty

minutes ago, the backlight started blinking on and off, and then the

blinking got faster and faster, and now it sort of looks like a disco lamp.

Fortunately, once again thanks to my wonderful patrons at  Patreon, I was able to order a replacement for it.

The bad news is, since the monitor hadn't yet gone into stroboscopic

freakout mode when I ordered the new one, I opted for amazon's free

shipping, which means it's going to be a few days before it gets here.

In the meantime, I am using my iPad, and that good 'ol VNC remote

desktop program (you may recall my mentioning it when I used it to

connect to my home computer cross-country and post some art, when I was

out west on my California trip) to view my computer desktop. So I'm not

completely cut off, I'm just... somewhat hindered in my work for now.

Hopefully the new one shows up before tuesday.
