I spent quite a while sorting out my laptop a few days ago so that it would boot into Linux and then go online. It was such a frustrating experience, that when I noticed that it was working, I wasn't exactly sure how I had managed it. All was good for a few hours, then I rebooted. Oh dear* - it stopped working.
Today I have spent quite some time figuring out what needed to be done to get it back online and once again, although successful, I am not sure what exactly I did to fix it.
I have come to the conclusion that my laptop is teasing me. I have several post-it notes all over my desk with commands written on them. Hopefully, if I keep them I will figure it out next time.
Anyway, someone asked what I had called the laptop - Serenity, after the excellent film by Joss Whedon. In retrospect, it might not be such a good idea. Serenity needed fixing an awful lot.
So I guess what I am trying to say is that I haven't blogged because Serenity wouldn't let me. I will try and remember what I have been doing.
*Yeah, that wasn't actually what I said - use your imagination.
