As I mentioned a while back (not here, my blogging has been lacking lately), my power cord for my laptop frayed itself down to the wire. So I made myself an appointment at the Apple Store down the road from my work, and went in today to hopefully deal with it. As expected, it was

It’s like the outside gods don’t want me to leave the house, or have fun, or have any money…. First of all, Saturday was a family barbeque, which was great, a full day of some productivity at home, then family, a huge delicious salmon, homemade bread (thanks dad!), cheese, etc. Great all around.

So in 2003, I reported Bug #123796 in the GNOME bug tracking system. Three years later it was marked as duplicate of Bug #340180. Finally over 3 years after that (today), it was marked as confirmed. It’s a relatively simple bug, easy to reproduce, and while not a huge important bug, it’s annoying and I’d
