I sent the following e-mail to my wife shortly after I got home this afternoon.
Do you have any compressed air at work? Can you please bring it home?
I have the world’s most disgusting computer problem.
Remember the tiny ants I mentioned? Turns out they’re not in the bedroom.
They’re in MY COMPUTER.
I am NOT making this up. I have watched them coming out of the keyboard at least a dozen times now.
I think an ant crawled in through one of the vents, and did whatever ants do to reproduce, and now I have a computer full of ants.
This calls for a nap.
I had this problem with a laptop once – I was using our old spare car for a day and it turns out the car had an ant infestation I didn’t know about – they found lots of nice hiding places in the laptop – had to pull the cover out, use compressed air AND a vac…. nasty/frustrating…
It reminds me of the original computer “bug” – I think it was a month that found it’s way into a mainframe cabinet many years ago…
Wow, sounds really frustrating!
I have experienced a lot of different computer problems but not something like that, haha. I’m lucky I guess.
Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Daniel
