Now it’s the laptops

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Gee after all those HD failures on the desktops, today it’s a laptop, only in this case it’s not completely gone, it’s just got bad clusters that keep you from doing much work without an application crash, but I was able to rescue data off of it to move over to our spare laptop for the user while I wait for the replacement to arrive, which looks to be early next week. At least this happened close to Xmas, so the user in question should be able to make do with the spare for a few days.

There goes the quiet uneventful week I was looking forward to though. 🙂

    Thanks to a suggestion from Anita, I found a different referrer script that, while still not running locally, at least did include instructions on how to limit the number of characters it shows of a title. That should keep the table layout from getting screwy. I’ll tweak it as referrers start showing up and I…
