I definitely missed it while it was sent away, but it’s back now. Safe at last. The road back to me was fraught with peril, and false charges too. In short, Apple tried to charge me $30 because they supposedly found nothing wrong with the machine (even though they happened to fix what was wrong). Go figure.

Looks like I’ll be in charge of documentation over the coming weeks while our documentation lead, Alexander Plank, is taking care of Real Life™ stuff. With the coming profile changes, put in place in order to accommodate expansion of the Gentoo for Mac OS X project in the direction of a non-collision-protected portage system, the documentation for Gentoo for Mac OS X will need to be updated. Looks like I’ll be the one primarily responsible for this. It should prove to be interesting given that my computer is out for service until at least Thursday, but it’s definitely doable.
As expected, I sent out my PowerBook for repairs today. The service guys told me that they expect it back within three, maybe four days. No loaners available (not that I’d really use one anyhow). Meanwhile I’m starting to get used to KDE, Thunderbird and Enigmail on a friend’s linux-x86 box — every few minutes I joyfully remember why I loved linux, and every few seconds I painfully remember why I jumped on board with Apple’s Mac OS X. It’s going to be a long week.
Looks like my powerbook is dead at least until a service technician can take a look at it. I’ll be sending it in on Monday 2005.02.07, and expect it back around Thursday 2005.02.10. One week without a laptop.
