Are you actually taking us seriously? Oh dear god.


Also: What the hell is the point of pinging yourself? And why would you use your external IP address (or your address on the LAN) instead of localhost?


Oh, and when you block out your username, you might want to get the first letter too so it isn't as obvious. Granted, mine is only three characters long, so you could probably get that within a few tries. Not that it matters.

Of course, if you've got a webcam... out of interest, what was outside your window?

How? I'm trying to click on the mouse, but I can't move the arrow off the screen itself...

A few trees, some people walking by. One tree is a big oak. There are also a bunch of cars parked, a black van, and a white van that has a rusted sign on it which says ``Candy Inside`` which has its motor running. Nothing out of the ordinary.

You need to put the mouse on the screen.

I did that, but the mouse winds up on TOP of the arrow, and moving the mouse doesn't do anything. I mean, I don't get that. If the mouse can move the arrow by shooting a light onto my desk, shouldn't it work even better when it's shooting the light directly into the computer screen?

It definitely should. Maybe your mouse is faulty? Are you sure you've plugged it into the correct hole?

Is is a white mouse or a brown one? I hear the brown are more docile these days, but I haven't kept up to date on recent developments.

Plug in a new mouse with a fresh cursor.

okay i installed firegestures and tried to use it to draw a wiccan binding circle over the arrow in firefox but it still wouldn't stay put or go where i want




the arrow disappeared when i took a screenshot; do you think it's taunting my power?? Or is the problem that I can't really draw the circle around the arrow because the trail follows it?

You need a second mouse to bind the first one. Make sure to tape the first one down, otherwise it might try to slip away.
