Heat sucks.

Apart from it making me uncomfortable outside and it making flowers produce stuff that makes me sneeze, it also isn't too healthy for computer systems.

The last week, three computers inside this house broke down. I suspect it's because of the heat. What am I supposed to do without decent systems? Get bored?

Grmbl.

One of the machines that isn't responding to its power switch right now is my laptop. I'm not entirely sure whether it's broken or whether it dislikes booting with no power in its battery (I forgot to switch it off when I last left it), but if it is broken, I'll probably have to go to Debconf without the thing. This means that if there is a God of geek gatherings, it must hate me — the last two times I went to one (FOSDEM 2004, FOSDEM 2005), my laptop was broken, too.

Sick and tired of all this.

I've got it plugged into a power outlet, and will go to bed soonishly. Here's for hoping it'll all magically work tomorrow morning.
