Did the long road trip today, in preparation for some work I'll be doing next week. It was...well, a long road trip. I'll be making it several times over the next few weeks. Looks like some decent work, at least for a while.
I didn't bother taking the X60s along with me, which was probably for the best. I just needed pen and paper today, and that served me well enough. Maybe next week...
Currently, I've got the T400 up and running. Which is another story altogether. When I booted it this evening, yes, I got the damned "Fan Error" message, and the thing crashed. This time I didn't even bother with the canned air. A good "thwack" on the side got the thing running again. Which tells me I'm in for trouble. It has to be a fan going bad, which annoys me to no end.
So, off tomorrow to the Computer-Shop-Across-the-River. Granted, I could just snag a new fan and do the job myself, but I really don't have the space to do the work, and I really don't have the time. I have other things I need to be doing this weekend.
So...
In the meantime, while the thing is up and running, I've livebooted into Bodhi, just to see how it feels on this system. I have to say good, even though I forgot to install the wireless gizmo into the liveboot run, and spent 5 minutes fiddling, trying to get the 'Net connection up and going. Thank heavens for the Bodhi start page.
I am still fascinated that you can not log into Hotmail via the Midori web browser. Hotmail is THAT bad these days? Yeesh! (Though, it's as close to the "Metro" look as I ever want to come...)
Anyway...
Not much else going on here. I'm exhausted, not just from the road trip, but from last night. My dog decided that, if he couldn't sleep, I wouldn't sleep. I didn't sleep. So I am definitely not long out of the bed...
