It lives! The laptop is finally alive again. The bad news is that on its way out not just e-mails were going bad, but also backups. I have lost just about everything including all my music, movies and every photo that I didn’t put up on flickr. From Tokyo to Colombia, from coffee stuff to personal stuff – all gone.
Quite depressed but perhaps it is one stop away from being a materialist, or something like that….

My laptop is dead or at least dying. I may be hard to contact for a bit, and quite inactive online. Also my mail program suffered a lot and it lied to me about sending emails. If you are waiting on something from me the please drop me a line – I am really sorry about this!

Anyone interested in a nice vintage Whitmee (English Roaster manufacturer of old) Silo/Destoner suitable for a 30 kilo roaster then drop me a line for pics and more info. Will be a very good price . In working condition as far as I know though I haven’t fired it up recently.

Awesome!

Stephen and I are talking about all the people in the world practicing for the WBC RIGHT NOW. We wondered what they were all doing, thinking so – on the off chance they are reading this – please link to just one picture of your training. It doesn’t have to give away any secrets, it really doesn’t have to sensible – I just thought it would be fun!
