I may have inadvertantly killed Slings by mentioning “Hedwig and the angry inch.”
I will wait while he reboots his lungs and dries his keyboard...
It’s in situations like this that I usually try to summon Hastur, but think that even he’d want to give this one a miss.
Probably not.
But while this trainwreck rolled on without me I unearthed another issue with my Linux laptop.
In attempting to post something sort of fitting from Ewetoob I discovered the Ewetoob doesn't play on this machine. Someday I'll get motivated to dig into the annoyances and find out what can be done.. Of course, once I managed to get Linux running on this thing, I shelved the project - hooked it up tonight to charge the battery... ;-)
Now I wonder what else doesn't work that I am unaware of (on top of the fn buttons not working, the battery status not working, ewetoob not working, and the shutdown/power off not working.)
