Yesterday I mostly just chilled out in front of the fireplace with my laptop. <\/p>\n
I tested the battery life, it lasts just under 3 hours. I learned the hard way that suspend isn’t working properly, I closed the lid and when I opened it again all I had was a blinking cursor. Oops. If I alt+f1 I could see a virtual terminal for a second, could even navigate my way to the X sesson, but it always brought me right back to the blinking cursor before I could do anything. I did some searching of ubuntu forums for his behavior, but all I’ve found so far is “suspend works for me!” I checked the BIOS settings, and as far as I can tell it’s all set up properly, I’m sure it’s an OS thing. I’ll poke around when I’m in the mood again, for now I just leave it open when it’s running. Everything else on the laptop is working great.<\/p>\n
In the evening Michael and I headed out to Sly Fox<\/a> for dinner. It was delicious.<\/p>\n We got home and watched The West Wing, which wasn’t bad this week. I thought “Hey, maybe it’s getting better!” but then learned today they announced it’s being canceled after this season. D’oh. I guess I’m not that<\/i> sad about it’s demise, the show had a good run.<\/p>\n
