My Day

Today wasn’t the greatest day: The laptop’s motherboard died.

Fortunately I had backed up the data last night, so I have what I need. Hopefully the computer will be fixed by Thursday afternoon. As it is, the computer breaking has set me a day behind and may cost me the time I had allotted Friday and Saturday to a cultural thing here in Weimar.

In other sad news, condensation started appearing inside my watch yesterday. I can only assume that this is prelude to death—something that I hope doesn’t happen before I get back to the land of Indiglo Timex Watches.

So now I should be working, but I’m not really in the mood—it’s hot and steamy out (much like Bloomington), an the German public is going a bit crazy today—something about another one of those “fußball” matches, or something.

But on a happier note, I’ve decided to have a party on Sunday, July 2nd, in Bloomington, and my readers are invited. Normally I would do this via email, but my email address book is locked up on a hard-drive in my laptop that had a dead motherboard, so I am issuing an invite here. Email me and tell me you are coming, it’s at the usual place.

    Hmmm … it must be the summer of dying computers. Your laptop really wasn’t that old though. Is is under warranty?

  • There were mitigating issues, it wasn’t that new, but it is under warrenty.

    Hopefully I will get it back before I leave.

    Hey Adam….

    my watch is dying as well, do you think we should bury them and hold a ceremony when you get back to Btown?
