Thanks Nogrod for explaining, I'll elaborate a little more.
I was ill, so I didn't go to school. (And I normally play in school during the breaks.) As I don't have a net access home, the situation looked pretty hopeless. Anyway, I headed for a library to make even some posts. I didn't manage to reserve a computer for more than half an hour or fifteen minutes at a time. I used some of my library time to read the hordes of e-mail I had got for one project. Then, I spent a lot of time switching computer and copying and pasting parts of my post to my e-mail. It also took me very long to read the thread through, since I hadn't read everything from even Day2. So, when after spending about two hours in the library and almost having written one long post, three minutes before my time with the computer automatically log me out and it would be some other person's turn, the computer stuck. I was't able top copypaste the things I had written and so I lost two thirds of everything I had written during the library visit. At that phase I was really frustrated and thought of going home, but I decided to make a short post and vote first. However, all the free computers remaining - so I guess the whole system - failed to co-operate with me. They didn't open Mozilla Firefox (the computer babbled something about program being already running and thus unable to be reopened) or Internet Explorer (the computer stuck on loading the program for more than five minutes, while it normally takes less than a minute to load the program). So I gave up and went home, and if I hadn't bought hordes of chocolate from the nearby shop, I doubt I'd be sane. Sorry for über-long post, but I felt I should explain.
