Yay nice sunny days.
Yay laptops.
Yay wireless.
Yay 2-hour battery life.

Yep, I'm writing this on my laptop while sitting on a bench outside Pevensey. The screen on this laptop's suprisingly visible under full sunlight, though the keyboard does get a bit hot due to being black.

Unfortunatly, I ran the battery down during the non-symbolic ai seminar, so I'll be heading in soon to recharge it. Yay air-conditioned computing labs.

A couple of minutes work with a variable power supply, some whitetack, a pair of crocodile clip leads and a half-dead case fan (bearings gone, but only noisy when cranked up to full speed) has resulted in me having a desk fan.

It's not the world's best fan, as it's hard to orientate and the airflow isn't particularly directed, but it does a good job of keeping the air moving.

A glass of fizzy apple juice with ice cubes is also good.
