6:34 Chris plugs his computer in, but finds that his AC adapter isn't working
6:36 As the computer starts up, Chris tries to jiggle the AC adapter in the computer to make it work
6:38 The computer starts up
6:39 Chris continues trying to find a spot for the AC adapter's plug in the computer, turning it and reinserting it over and over again
6:41 Chris briefly considers the sexual imagery of his current task
6:42 Chris gives up and hopes there is enough power left in the battery for now
6:43 Chris stars up Mozilla Firefox

6:44 Mozilla Firefox freezes
6:45 Chris starts up Mozilla Firefox

6:47 Chris finds the Internet is not working
6:48 Chris runs downstairs into the living room
6:48 Chris unplugs the wireless router, turns off the DSL modem and unplugs it, waits three seconds then plug everything back in and turns it back on
6:49 Chris runs back upstairs and finds his computer on critical battery power
6:50 Chris resumes trying to make his AC adapter work

7:05 Chris connects to Blogger
7:06 Chris realizes he has forgotten his amusing idea, realizes it probably wasn't that good anyway
7:07 Since the Internet is working, Chris decides to take this rare opportunity to publish something
7:08 Chris looks through his notebook, finds the latest entry, reading "Nazis VS La-zis"
