Back in action

After almost two days of wandering around the streets of the city, my emissaries located a place to buy a new AC adapter for my much beloved HP Pavilion “ATI hellspawn” dv5-1132la, and I have thusly regained access to my development environment for Wesnoth and related projects.

48 hours of using a laptop with a broken display, short-lived (8 minutes) battery, unusable touchpad buttons, different keyboard layout and outdated user config can be very frustrating, but it was a good exercise nevertheless. It's better to have a broken spare laptop running Linux (Debian Lenny before Stable) than no spare laptop or no Linux laptop at all. 😉
