So i fixed my laptop all on my own, basically required me to pry the front part of my laptop open and insert folded bits of paper in there to pad up where my hands rest as it would appear that is causing all the problems. The bits of paper jut out the front of my laptop, so now I need to figure out how to close to all back up without the bits of paper floating around inside or catching fire when this beast gets really hot :)

In other nerd news, I took pictures of the comet:

Squint really hard and you might be able to see it in those tiny photos :P

In other news, I'm enjoying my time here in Sydney.
