Default Attn: xkcd fans

I'm looking for the comic where the little stick dude is updating his computer and things just keep getting worse and worse no matter what he tries -- anyone who's done serious work on computers or has been around during serious work on computers should know what that's like . I can't remember what it's called, and I just read through every title in the archives and nothing is really catching my eye. Do you know the one? Help!

Maybe I'm thinking of a different webcomic. I can't find it for the life of me. :\

Thanks for all those, though.

Oh! I think I know. But I don't know what it was called. Pretty sure it was XKCD.

I have the same habit. I remember old XKCD comics and then get frustrated while trying to locate them.

I used to save them as files, bookmarking would be too many.

Yes, this.

I used to archive all my favorite webcomics by renaming the files by post date only. Awesome chronology maintenance.
