Rough Day

dewline: Facepalming upon learning bad news (bad news)
This morning I was in the midst of working up a screed on the shooting last night accompanying the verdict of the voters of Québec.

Twas not to be. My MacBook Pro hath started acting in Weird and Discomfiting Ways. I have been to the local Genius Bar and that seems to have tentatively ruled out the hard drive as the root cause. However, I was advised to backup the hard drive before handing the machine over for Advanced Diagnostics. The weird issues freeze the computer in mid-bootup, thus preventing the backing-up. For now, anyway. [livejournal.com profile] leroux has offered assistance in defeating this issue and I have accepted.

Meantime, I'm back to working with the old G4 iBook for at least a couple of days, barring miracles or disasters.

This, on top of the day's dental health issues. Can we please get dental health finally covered under Canadian medicare rules? Hm?

Good news to leaven the chaos? Some possible journalistic job leads more on which later, circumstances permitting.
