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. 🙂

    I know why we don’t have a Zip code input mask. We do have some people from Canada and Europe on our mailing list, and their zip code, obviously, would not work with an input mask. That makes sense. On the other hand, why someone there wants to keep up with state level legislation in…

    I had hoped the short week due to Thanksgiving would be a relatively quiet one, but today definitely did not fit into that plan. One of our servers crashed early this morning, creating all kinds of havoc around the helpdesk, and the day pretty much went downhill from there. It was one of those days…
