My powerbook gets hot... and i dont mean in the 'damn that girl is hot' way. I mean it gets really really hot on the left hand side and also underneath. :(
Ive looked on the web and it seems to be a common 'problem'. Another thing is that it has a 'wobble', it doesnt sit level on the desk - one corner wobbles between its edges. This really annoys me, i took it back to mthe shop and they fixed it by bending it back the otherway - they told me that was the way apple repaired it, but low and behold a few days later it is wobbling again. It seems to get worse with the heat as well. *sigh* So im waiting to hear back from the shop - who said they would ring me last week but didnt. Ill ring again on monday and take it back - do the usual 'send back and wait a friggen long time' for it to be returned.

I read somewhere thqat the very first batch had these problems, so i think i might jsut puch for a newer one - one from the newer batches. *sigh*

Apart from that, things are ok. Still doing the same stuff. Uni is going good. Ive started coding again - serious coding, in java and cocoa. Java is for my phd stuff, cocoa is for the fun of it. Got some nifty ideas for programs so ill see how they go.

*sigh* Sitting and watching tv, not much on. I might whack a dvd in, or maybe ill go to uni and sit. hrmmm dunno.

righto, enough of this... i need to find somthing to do.
