Not Quite Dead

• Chris Liscio

I haven't dropped off the face of the earth! Seriously! While life has gotten more hectic (read: interesting) thanks to Andrew, my lack of time is exacerbated by my MacBook Pro's half-completed repair. </p> <p> I took my MacBook Pro in for repair a few weeks ago for the notorious logic board replacement, and during the repair my top case was damaged in a way that doesn't allow me to use the keyboard, trackpad, or power button for the time being. </p> <p> So, the machine has been powered on and running for the last 14 days straight, tethered to my desk and unable to be used around the house (which is where I tend to use it most now that Andrew's around). </p> <p> To make matters even worse, I switched to a new HDD during this logic board replacement, and I'm half way between a restored workspace from a backup and a fresh install. I can't fully return to my regular workspace until I get my top case replaced, and I can safely power on/off the machine during installs/backups/restores. </p> <p> So, right now, I'm treating this period of limbo-time as a bit of a break from the regular grind. It's nice to refresh my head, and work on some other things I've been meaning to do for months. </p> <p> That said, I'm still fixing bugs in, and adding small features to FuzzMeasure Pro. I'm also being fully responsive to emails and support. I'm just not spending every free minute that I'm away from my day job and family on the computer. That really only means I haven't been able to post blog entries so often, and haven't touched NetNewsWire for a while. </p> <p> I could probably post tons and tons of stuff talking about what I've been doing these past few weeks, but it appears I'll have to just bottle it up for a another time. </p>
