Technologyyyyy! *fist shake*
Mar. 14th, 2010 11:44 pmI hereby dub March the month of Thwarted by Technology month.
Ok, let's be fair. Lets say this week has been the Thwarted by Technology week. The internet problem has been solved, and the device that was inhibiting our signal is no longer in use. But now my laptop battery is crapping out on me. I've had the laptop for well under a year, so the battery is still under warranty (THANK GOODNESS). HP has a minor battery recall going on, and navigating that site to figure out a) if my battery is screwing up because it's a recalled battery, b) if I'm doing damage to my computer by using a battery that may or may not be recalled, c) what to do if the battery is recalled and d) where to go next if the battery isn't recalled.
Oy.
And here I had grand plans to write about suspension of disbelief and watching teevee with friends and theatre blogging. But I'm not. I'm about to go pry my battery out of my computer in order to compare its numerous product numbers, serial numbers, and id codes. Bets on how many times I'll have to shut down and restart throughout this process?
