The latest laptop trauma: I believe the fan has stopped working. Our weather station receiver that feeds the outdoor weather to our websites also has a local thermometer and while it used to read the ambient temperature pretty well next to my laptop, it’s now reading the mid-80s consistently.<\/p>\n

Maybe that’s why it arbitrarily reboots itself every 24-30 hours or so…<\/p>\n

We are really, truly coming to the end of this kitchen laptop’s service life. A few weeks ago, the one-year-old battery stopped carrying a charge. It keeps itself at about 5%, just enough for me to run across the house to plug it into a living room outlet.<\/p>\n

But there’s a silver lining! When Dave is finished with his PhD program and he starts at his new position at Air Force Weather Agency<\/a>, his Gateway laptop will stay home! Yay! Mine is circa 2000, his is from 2006! Just a couple more months to go…<\/p>\n

It’s now sitting atop a small cookie\/cake cooling rack. Let’s see if that helps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
