Well, it happened. The LCD of my Inspiron 700m died. I’ve done what little checking I can do, bu I think it’s gone forever.

On the one hand, it’s a good thing that I have a monitor at my desk (in the office) that I used to use as the second screen for my laptop. I made a few adjustments to the xorg.conf file, and I can still use the laptop as a computer + keyboard.

On the other hand, that’s probably where the laptop will stay, until come up with a better use for the laptop. So, for the next couple months (I expect a few weeks waiting to consolidate my plan for next academic year, and then a little more looking for deals on parts—I’m almost decided on the MSI AMD whitebook), I just won’t have a computer at home, or a mobile computing device. I don’t think it will be that big of a problem.

After all, I could almost count on my fingers how many times I used my laptop not in my office or home in last half-year, and I can do without a computer at home for a while. I’ve done that for longer (oh, a year?) than that before, and maybe this means I will stay at office more (where I inevitably get more done), or get some good reading done at home.
