I removed my laptop’s battery and tilted my computer at an angle to the sight of water dripping out the crevices.

It is now sadly sitting at home on its side, open, and in front of a fan, where my brother tells me it needs to stay for the following 7 days if I want to maintain any morsel of hope of recovery.

I am quite forlorn. I have never experienced such laptop calamity before; I was hoping some or any of you would have a laptop tale to share that ended with hope and not tears. I’m not sure my laptop has any hope, but any at all would be nice.

PS: Do you think this is covered by AppleCare? I’m still under my 3 years…

Technically, n is also required, but it can be implied by fn. So, if you don’t have fn, your microformat is broken. Sorry.

The MacHeist bundle was introduced last December, 2006, to huge success within the Macintosh community. The software bundle offered 10 of the Mac indie development community’s best offerings, and was available at the end of the MacHeist promotion for one week.

The bundle was called the greatest Mac software deal in history, and has never been available since then. Customers snapped up over 16,000 copies, and donated 25% of their purchase to various charities.

Apps:
Awaken, Cha-Ching (a fun Quicken-like app, $40 value), CoverSutra, DEVONthink Personal, iClip (Hardcore clipboard, $29 value), Overflow (dock remanager), Wallet (account info aggregator, $14.95 value), WriteRoom, XSlimmer (removes parts of Universal Code that do not apply to your machine, $11.95 value), Enigmo (game, $19.95 value), Bugdom 2 (game, $29.95 value), Nanosaur 2 (game, $24,95 value).

Altogether, it is over $250 worth of goodies for $49. An absolute steal. An added bonus - some of the funds are donated to charity and you can choose which charity your portion will support. If you do nothing, just register for a free MacHeist account - you get WireTap Pro for free ($19 value) and some other goods that collect to $54 for free, and a $2 discount from the bundle.

My computer will be so brimming with software that it won’t know what to do with itself.

Support Neatly Sliced and purchase through this link to give me points leading to a discount on my purchase. Thanks in advance.

The testimonials page would bring grown developers to blush; Authentic Jobs proves insanely effective at filling niche jobs with qualified personnel.

And yes, microformats present.

The new 2.5 Dashboard is a lot slicker and web 2.0ish. Lots of Ajax and/or Javascript integration, which is nice. Things are moved around a bit which will get a bit of getting used to.

I’m totally psyched about the improvements to the editor area. I hated how it would mess with HTML code. I will hastily update the food blog, as this was one major reason why I never posted there; every post was a headache to format properly.

Maintenance Mode plug in broke on the update for me - I was logged in yet I kept getting the maintenance mode screen (which ought only to appear when not logged in). I had to delete the poor pansy. Perhaps a new rev is in store.
