I don’t dust my computer nearly often enough. Yeah, “shoemaker’s children are the ones running barefoot”. Tonight, though, I noticed the GPU was running a little hot–just a couple of degrees–so I crawled under my desk and took a look. I may have bought the windowed case because it looked nerdy, but it comes in handy when I want to see how much dust is in there. Dust….yeah, there was dust. I usually don’t use canned air because it’s fucking expensive and there’s a compressor downstairs specifically for dusting computers, but I was too lazy to disconnect everything and haul it down, so I hunted down a can of air and went to work. I didn’t even pull the box out from beneath the desk; just pulled off a side panel and crawled under with a flashlight. I was madly blowing the giant mutant dust bunnies toward the bottom when I discovered that CleanSafe canned air is probably not all that popular with huffers. It’s got something called Bittergent in it, which is supposed to make the taste so unpleasant that even stupid teenagers won’t want to get high on it. If the small amount I could taste from using it in the enclosed space beneath my desk is any indication, I think you’d have to be a die-hard huffer in desperate need to go anywhere near that goddamned stuff. Bitter? You bet, and a whole bottle of water still hasn’t got the taste out of my mouth. Blech!
