Mark Wielaard: New GPG key.
Finally created a new GPG key using gnupg. The old one was a DSA/1024 bits one and 8 years old. The new one is a RSA/2048 bits one. I will use the new one in the future to sign any release tarballs I might create. pub 2048R/57816A6A 2011-01-29 Key f...

...at least my house didnt burn down!
As I was working yesterday my laptop felt kinda wobbly. I didnt think too much about it. But it started getting annoying. I lifted the laptop and looked under it to make sure my laptop wasnt accidentally sitting on top of a USB cable or something like that. Nope.
A little while later I was getting really annoyed - so I flipped the computer all the over to see what was up. And to my surprise my battery was completely warped. It looks like it had exploded sometime this weekend. Check out how warped it is:
A couple of years ago one of my Apple power supplies would make humming noices now and then, and one day I happened to be looking at it when it shot some sparks! Luckily I had a floor mat so any previous sparks hadnt ignited the carpet. I got that adapter replaced. But Im definitely thankful neither incident caused fires!
