Laptop news/bit of housekeeping

[mariness]

The power supply for the Toshiba turned distinctly cranky today, refusing to work unless the cord is held at a very, very particular angle which seems to shift on a whim. Since waving power cords around at weird angles is not my idea of entertainment, and for a variety of reasons I am not buying a new computer until January (if then), I'm shutting this computer down until the new power supply arrives, just using the netbook for a few days.

This mainly affects my writing (since the netbook is not good for long term typing), TV viewing (which really only affects those of you desperate to hear my snarky thoughts on V, since I still haven't gotten around to seeing the last two episodes) and those of you who contact me via Yahoo/AIM/Messenger since I haven't and won't be putting any im clients on the netbook. So if you im me, and I ignore you, it's not personal - I just haven't seen your im.

And yep, everything of importance has been moved to the external drive. Let's hear it for speedy external drives!

OK, you're the third person on my frist who's having power supply issues. Is it something to do with the Earth's distance from the sun?

Enjoy the break, if you can. I don't know, maybe do something wild like read a book!
