No I haven't died, but my laptop has.
Apple have said they will replace under warrenty, but it's been two weeks so far. Thanks for not having a NZ distributer Apple, really appreciated!

Saw one of the most amazing concerts of my life last night, the legendary Ian MacKaye in his band/sideproject 'The Evens'. There was only about 25-30 people in the venue, and it turned out to be a very intimate personal show - everyone either sitting down on the floor or on couches/chairs dragged up to the front of stage. Lots of banter back and forth between the band and the audience, it was perfect.

Definitely the best way to spend a Tuesday night in my opinion!
