Emerge Laptop
Grrr, getting annoyed with my laptop lately. I haven’t been using it as much ever since it started restarting itself (well… tries to restart but screen doesn’t come back on). I think it only does it when AC is in but I haven’t properly tested it yet (fucking Dell).
But Ben and Toby are doing a bit of Web-Dragon work and I decided to join them with my laptop. It’s behaving itself at the moment, but because I haven’t used it in a while I decided to do an update. 500meg of updates to emerge (Gentoo linux installation). Problem is, I get this really irratating thing happen when I try to update occasionally. Some of the updates can’t install because of some other installed packages need to updated first, and funnily enough, those packages can’t be updated until the previous is updated… resulting in update deadlock. I’m not sure if this is normal occurence for Gentoo cause it’s happened a lot, but its so ridiculous. I have to end up uninstalling the software completely and then reinstalling 
Oh well… I guess I better get it started :/

well it isn’t the AC. Stupid bloody motherboard is shorting on something, I had this exact same problem before. If I get it repaired and it happens again, I’m entitied to a brand new laptop… apparently.
