bits and pieces

Finished Outremer 2/6. Must digest before writing a review, but I liked it. I liked it a lot.

The laptop is unwell. Last week it started putting itself into hibernation mode when left unattended, even though it's not supposed to do that unless it's on internal battery power. On Saturday it suddenly decided that it couldn't run at a higher resolution than its own screen can support, even when on the dock and hooked up to an external monitor. Half an hour or so of swearing and rebooting later, I found that it had lost both of the hardware profiles I'd set up for it, and reverted to its as-shipped profile. This afternoon it suddenly decided that it didn't need to be sending any signal information to the display, whether its own or the external one. And I'd just reached the end of a long post for a discussion on the terminology of gay romance, which I had to recreate from memory. I'm not happy, and I'm wondering what it's going to do next.

No actual writing done so far today, of course...
