Sometimes, deep in the night…
Why is it that computer problems NEVER occur when you have time to fix them? Case in point: as I’m going to bed tonight, I notice there’s a Java update in Software Update. Recall hearing a day or so ago something about Java, seemed important, what the hell. Everything proceeds about like it should, Vera reboots. A few seconds into the reboot process, the fans kick into high gear and then everything goes black.
Uh oh.
Of course it’s 10:45 by this point, the wife is in bed and probably not going to appreciate repeated bonging as I restart multiple times. So I close it up and climb in bed. Where I lay awake for two more hours because I’m too pissed off to sleep. The worst part, naturally, is that I might be most of the way to fixing the problem if I’d just stayed up in the first place. Fuck.
