Apparantly the thermal paste between my heat sink and processor had dried out, processor was getting too hot and cutting out.  So the moral here is, always check your paste.  I don’t understand really, all I know is I can work again now without having to beat my 10 year old laptop with a stick when I want it to actually compute … there was more power in the old ZX81s, I’m sure.

Now then … lots of news coming soon, a recommendation or two, and a little celebration of my second anniversary as a full-time writer.

See you tomorrow!
