Life of a systematist, nomad, and double Ph.D (or a look into the mind of someone who is questionably sane).

1302 Checking the assemblies and then trying to figure out why my laptop is no longer charging
1557 just back from target with a new charger, computer still not charging
1920 Looks like letting it charge while in the BIOS diagnostics fixed the issue
2204 Trivial Pursuit on Skype with the parentals, vs Eddie/Ania/Zac vs Maria/Kevin.

Food: tuna for lunch, shrimp for dinner

Fact: 20 million books were produced in the first 60 years (so between 1440 and 1500) after the invention of the printing press. This jumped to between 150 and 200 million in the 16th century

All kinds of drama today- my computer stopped charging for no apparent reason. Since I had to go to the store anyway I got a replacement charger but no improvement.  My first thought was to take my computer apart, but luckily Eddie watched some youtube videos and suggested we play around in the BIOS first.  Computer was recognizing the charger, and in the diagnostic screen it appeared to be using wall power but also not charging the battery.  Unplugged it to let it discharge a bit (in order to test and make sure that the diagnostics would show me real time battery use) then plugged it back in.  Crazily enough it now worked normally.  Other big new was trivia with the family via skype.  Lots of laughter (did you know "Under the dome" was about living under a dome?).  Eddie/Ania/Zac won.  Next time we will all need to wear family shirts since today only Zac (monitor) and Maria/mom (octopus) wore them.
