• Wed, 18:27: And I don't want to have to change all the bookmarks I have for the USB drive.
• Wed, 18:43: Well, restarting the computer made SYSTEM go away, which is both a relief and scary.

Say, you can always tell whether a Twitter mirror post has been edited for completeness by whether the proper tags are on it yet.

My laptop is programmed to go to "sleep" when the lid is closed. But if the wireless mouse is left on, the mouse keeps the laptop awake. If the laptop's left that way too long, historically, it gets into a state I assume is overheated in which it starts misbehaving and, when I try restarting it, hangs up when restarting. This evening that appears to have happened while I accompanied qtrhorserider to the grocery store. Every time this happens I'm afraid the damn thing won't come back, but leaving it half a day or overnight has always worked so far. Right now I'm typing on the computer connected to the tv.

This is all by way of saying that Arthur, King of Time and Space will update about twelve hours later than usual.

Later

Two things I want to record about this phenomenon this time:

1. It's easier to restart after overheating for some reason if the laptop's on its battery instead of on its power cord. I believe I discovered that last time (this has happened three or four times in the few years I've had the machine), and I might've saved myself some time and angst if I'd remembered it earlier.
2. I've gone and told the thing to "hibernate" instead of sleep on lid closing, upon determining empirically that accidentally leaving the mouse on will not wake the laptop up from hibernation. Hibernation takes longer to wake up from, which is why I switched to sleep from hibernation early in this machine's history, but this overheating can't be good for the device and I'd rather avoid it altogether since I can.

Wait, three things: AKOTAS is now updated.

We've got a Vista laptop that since yesterday won't start any programs without giving the error message, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." (Though sometimes it starts the program anyway.) The only user on the machine is the administrator. Any ideas?
