Dead laptop
Nothing like starting the day with a dead laptop. Well here I am - in Japan. And my main work laptop is dead. Sigh.

About Me
I'm Technical Director of Blue Fountain Systems. I'm married to Akemi and have three children. We used to live in Japan but now we live back in the UK - something I have great trouble adapting to. Interests are Ubuntu, Python, Ruby, Postgres, drums. My old blog is currently here.

Bummer. Was that the Vaio already? I hope the infamous acpi-support bug wasn't responsible?
No 'twas my venerable Dell 630m which has probably been my favourite laptop since having Gutsy on it - even more so since having Hardy. It's been on 24 hours a day for the last two years pretty much. Going to see if I can just replace the hard disk but partly thinking about getting a MacBook here. World wide warranty, US keyboard (which I prefer on Macs to the UK ones), pretty light and cheap. I could always run Hardy on it if I can't get used to Lepoard :)
