A very stupid thing
I've just done something very stupid: I dropped my laptop.
It must have fell about 30cm onto soft carpet, and now the screen is broken in about 3 places. My excuse is that I've had a super long day at work, and I'm not feeling great, but I'm just so frustrated with myself.
I'm guessing a replacement screen ~= the price of a new laptop, and I just don't have that kind of money right now. Hence, I'll be offline until I can get hold of an external monitor, which, living in a flat the size of a shoebox, might be hard to find a home for.
In a few weeks I'll be starting at Red Hat, where they are buying me a nice work machine, but until then all major hacking will have to be paused.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

do you already know what you will do mainly at red hat? regarding your laptop: if you still have warranty on it, try to send it to the vendor and say something like “i had it closed in my bag and after taking it out i notice that the display was broke”. maybe it works, but i did not try for myself
