Nothing at all worked today… my laptop died yesterday…. and I spent the entire day trying to unsuccessfully to get it repaired..  As a consequence.. I was late or absent to several meetings… I also lost access too (hopefully temporarily) to the presentations I needed for today and tomorrow. My cell phone became my only link to the business world…    then.. for some crazy reason it too decided to go belly up mid day.. as it decided to resynch with the IBM mothership.   It came back for a bit until it finally gave up the ghost since the resynch had exhausted it’s battery.. I was unable to recharge it since the prongs had fallen off it’s recharger. That was OK since my bluetooth headset.. the one I bought just 2 weeks ago finally fell over dead after all the plastic pieces on it broke off in my pocket. he help desk were trying to breath life into my laptop all day.. but were unable to do so.. the error seemed to be somewhere in that pergatory  between hardware and software that no one knows how to (or feels obligated to) repair… In the end they gave me an ancient clunker as a loner.. it has scotch tape where the hard drive door should be.. and guess hwat.. it happens to be my old machine from 2 years back .. I’m dooooooooooooomed I tel you… dooooooooooooooomed.

     I know it sounds bad.. but it was like a little shot of the Colony.. I was cut off from the world for a few blissful hours mid day.. I could reach the world… and the world couldn’t reach me. All I could do was to give my undivided attention to my peers.. I mean it was awful !. No really. tit was great.. I’m thinking of having a media free day every week just to let myself think….

What do you think ?

OK.. I’m getting off this old clunker before anything else goes wrong.. more tomorrow, technology allowing..

night folks night hardware, night Sam
