The first fine Saturday that’s coincided with a green bin collection week so I got out into the garden this morning to give the lawn its first mow of the Spring. Inspired by that and the [relatively] recent upgrade of swamprat to openSUSE 10.2, I imported by giblib and camE into the Build Service (home …

Back to normality
Well, laptop is back and repaired, I’ve done online updates on both Linux and t’other OS and now I’m ready to get back to normality. Having it back has also meant I’ve finally been able to upload some more photos of Callum. Easter vacation to do list (unordered): Dig into Gimmie packages for 10.3 Finish …

Wednesday
Well, it’s now the first week of the vacation. The repair on my laptop was completed but it then failed its QA test and so went back to the engineer yesterday – news today I hope. Hebrew proposal was accepted and, to that end, spent yesterday and Monday translating Psalm 139: 17-22 ready to do …

Soon and very soon…
Shouldn’t be too much longer without my laptop. Spoke to Asus’s repair partner company this morning and they’re just waiting on a new keyboard from Asus. Other than the keyboard it was the mainboard and CPU that need replacing. Hopefully, they’ll put a Core Duo in instead of the Core Solo it had before by …

Catch-up
Bit of a rough weekend – we’ve all had a cold which, for Callum especially – being his first one – has been annoying. I had to pull out of an Alpha away-day I was supposed to be helping with as a result. Should be able to get the status of my laptop by the …

Thursday
Laptop was collected yesterday, hoping that it can repaired without losing any data – will be really miffed if I lose anything. Clerical shirts from Hayes & Finch were delivered yesterday – how scary is that? I haven’t even dared take them out of their packaging to try them on – that would make the …

It never stops…
…not even for a dead laptop. Two things that match that description so far today: Work of the college variety. Started my MM364 (Developing Preaching) assignment this morning. Slow start but then, I always start slow. Work of the openSUSE variety. Seems JP’s message had some effect – double figures of people in the channel …

Morning
Phoned Asus yesterday and the laptop is now registered with them as needing repair and it’s packaged up (in the original packaging – not like me to have kept it) ready to go back. Have to phone today to arrange a collection time. Pick-up and return warranties are good. In the meantime, thanks to Portable …

Another one bites the dust…
Another laptop that is! Yes, that’s right, my Asus laptop appears to have died on me. I was on my way to bed last night, stopped in the study to check my email before hitting the hay and it had locked up hard. I checked the hard drive wasn’t being accessed and held the power …
