Guadec 6

So… that’s sure now, no Guadec 6 for me this year. :'(
Why? Because of 29th of May’s referendum. Working for a newspapers makes it is very hard to take vacations on election’s day.
Next time…I hope, as that makes the third year I say that. 🙁

Hardware upgrade

A week ago, I ordered some more memory and another battery for my laptop, a Dell Inspiron 8200. Yesterday by coming back to home I got a notice from UPS saying the guy came and couldn’t deliver the box as I wasn’t home and asking me to call a phone number to decide of a moment when he could come again for the delivery. I called and we agreed that the UPS guy could bring me the box at work. I thought by that time that the memory and the battery would arrive in the same box at same time. Unfortunatelly I have been awoken this morning (it is always too early when someone wake you up) by the postman who had a box for me. It was the battery. I wonder why for two components, that they had in stocks, so available at the same time, they sent them in two separate boxes. Fortunatelly the sending cost was offered by Dell.
This afternoon, at the time told by the UPS guy I had on phone yesterday, I got my box with the memory, a 512MB Kingston memory module.
So, after a little play with the screw-driver, here we are, my laptop now runs with 1GB of memory. 🙂
And with a second battery…..
