Oh hi. Since you’re reading this, you probably know that my old laptop died and refused to be resurrected without a bit of magical malarky involving increasingly higher sums of money. Being a good consumer, I decided I’d instead shell out for a bit better laptop, as my friend the lower-end Dell Inspiron was starting to grate at my edges: another budget laptop seemed to be just asking for more of the same.

I just whipped up a quick flyer generator for the ADI. It kind of works-ish, definitely needs more work/documentation/a github repo, but it’s good enough for a minimal viable product.
Revision 2, the latest version, is over here.
Why’s it named lolhawk? Well, it makes flyers; the first flyer is arguably the Wright flyer, which was launched at Kitty Hawk; everyone knows kitties as lolcats, so if you spin everything around fast enough, you get lolhawk.

So, I’ve been without a personal computer for 5 days now, with at least another 4 days ahead of me, minimum. For someone that thought he lived and died by his computing power, it’s been surprisingly bearable.
For a full accounting, my laptop’s video card fried, and it’s in the repair shop for at least a week. If that doesn’t work (I have a reasonable expectation that it should), then I’ll end up splurging and getting myself a good laptop: at least, not a lower end Dell.

Hey! I wrote a tutorial over at HackCU, ADI’s tech blog for non-tech people. It’s about connecting to IRC. No blog post for a while, time to do homework.
