That was a particularly bad idea.

Count me amongst the afflicted
May 14th
There’s one word to describe the way I work with my computers:
Paranoid.
So when my ibook kernal panics within minutes of booting, I panic. Then I google. Then I disable the Airport chip. ‘Sallright I can live without wireless until Summer and I’ve the time to get AppleCare to service it (it’s in daily use and mission critical).
Then, it crashed. And the screen didn’t come back on when I rebooted. And removed the battery. And rebooted. And remembered. A reboot holding on to the left side of the button was enough to get the not so aptly named ‘mr-t’ back on its’ feet for long enough to get the important files off (and still going). I’m taking it in to AppleCare (because they cancelled computer collection) on Monday, and if there’s no improvement. I’ll be getting a thinkpad.
Silly wordpress, this should work better now.
Imminent Examination
May 6th
Starting tuesday I begin my GCSE examinations. They’re mainly spread over June- but there are some this month. I’ll try to post a comment here after each day, but don’t expect to see anything here until the end of June. Then expect to see quite a bit.
Until then,
