yeah, yeah. :)

If I'd fixed it, I might've missed my bus home. You wouldn't have wanted that, would you?

Hope J's feeling better...

No, I would not have wished for you to miss your bus home. My apologies. :)

She is, somewhat - I gave her a med that's good for back stuff (I happened to have something with me, who knew?), and that helped.

Glad the drugs helped.

hee hee.

And.. it works.

And.. the "deep sleep" widget that the article talks about, works too, and looks pretty neat.

So I don't have to worry about whether "hibernate" mode is a valid choice on an airplane, or search around for a shirt to cover over my laptop when it's in the same room I'm sleeping in. :)

Yeah, I'm using it now. :) I like it. The only thing that threw me for a loop was that it sets your power scheme to "Custom," and resets a bunch of other parameters. (For example, they tell your display to sleep after a certain period of time, etc.) If you select another power scheme from the menu -- "Best Performance," for example -- you lose the hibernation setting again. However, if you set the hibernation setting and then just adjust the parameters you want manually, all is good.

Thanks for pointing that out; if I hadn't already used a custom power scheme, I probably would've gotten confused before I could figure that out myself.

Only thing is, having that gorgeous moon on my dashboard makes me want to download a real moon-phase program too. I wonder if the author would consider making that an easter-egg-type feature? :)
