That’s annoying

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It seems my laptop battery is on it’s last legs. I can only get about 15 minutes of time before it shuts itself down. It comes right back up, with plenty of charge, so I know it’s not a charging issue, it just seems to think it’s not charged and shuts the laptop off.

HP’s website shows the replacement part as not being available any longer, so maybe it’s time to think about getting a new laptop at some point. Until then, I guess I’ll just make sure it’s running on AC power, which isn’t that hard, I don’t tend to use it when I’m being mobile, that’s what the Pocket PC is for. But I’ll be keeping my eye out for any good deals after the holidays I guess. 🙂

    First off, I forgot one thing I will miss yesterday, the vacation time. Not only because taking a new job spoiled plans Angela and I were making but because I’m losing the “extra” vacation time earned by having been here a number of years. (I’ll go from 17 days per year back to 10) Of…

    Back at work this morning. Quite enjoyed the three-day weekend, hope you all did too. Didn’t spend alot of time working on tech projects over the weekend, just a little bit, along with a little bit of movie watching, picture taking, sleeping, hanging out with Angela, etc. It was probably needed with what’s coming up…

    Haven’t had much time to look over the tech or blog news today. Have a hard drive being flaky on me again. I got it running long enough to make a backup of the email and favorites for this person, but still have a replacement coming in overnight. There’s no sense waiting for this thing…
