• How to use a vagina.

• Los Angeles women will be nigh invulnerable!

flickgc has signed my driver's licence exchange form! I should make it to Wimbledon first thing Wednesday morning. eyeliner297 is popping over tomorrow (I must think of something to cook that isn't vegie pasta) and irisetta is visiting to ransack my camera collection Wednesday.

My laptop is being upsetting: it keeps deciding it's too hot and powering off. When it does this the fan typically hasn't been going; if I switch it on straight away the fan is on full. So presumably it's failing to realise how hot it is. Is there some l33t ACPI command I can send it to get the temperature, or tell it "FAN ON NOW PLEASE"?

redcountess has been calling estate agents at a frantic rate and she and arkady will be off to look at houses tomorrow lunchtime, including one which we're really after (or at least one near it).

Beer good. Domesticity good. I feel like I'm almost keeping up with stuff.

How to use a vagina

I'm totally spreading the word with that link. Never saw that site before - "How to give good head" is almost as funny.

What laptop is this, exactly? With the Dell (i8ksource) it was easy, and with the IBM (thinkpad-modules) not so easy, but still doable.

The possibilities for at least finding out the current temp include lmsensors and /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature.

Compaq Evo N510c. It appears to both suspend and hibernate properly. This seems to happen in the session after a suspend or hibernate, not from fresh booting.

No idea about Compaq, my last one was in ca. 1999, and sure as hell didn't do ACPI (or suspend/hibernate/whatever).

Generally I'd unload any kernel modules that even might be related to ACPI and alike before suspend and re-load them after wake-up. 'course, I do that by hand (via /etc/acpi/events and a small shell script) anyway on my own lapdog.

Does it even have /proc/acpi/ with a half-way recent 2.6 kernel?

Ubuntu Dapper, so it's got a 2.6.15 variant. I'll try kludging the events - I need to do that anyway to get the Samba shares to remount properly.
