My laptops near death experience

Last Wednesday my laptop flatlined.

Basically the laptop did not 'stand by' properly, or somehow started up in the bag. The fan eventually failed & that triggered all kinds of system level alarm bells (not mention things got even hotter)... To cut a long story short, my laptop got cooked :( And here's another funny story, by an amazing coincidence, Thursday we also blew both hard drives on our office server, sigh!

Much ranting, raving and gnashing of teeth later my laptop is back in play, and we got lucky with 1 hard drive (the one with most data :), the other drive I've kept aside for now, trying to build up the courage to fiddle with the MBR.

Work continues apace though, we have a skrbl update planned for tonight. Todays update is to enhance the drawing toolbox on skrbl, delivering some features users have requested. You can get a taste of these new features on graffiti on the skrbl home page or in this blog.

Until next time and as always, thank you for skrbling.
