CD, I salute you. It was hardware, though not in the way you probably meant it.
Nothing internal, rather, the plug of my laptop's power cable is starting to go iffy, in part due to the fact that I've not been careful where overheating is concerned. The plastic bits on the end warped, and it interrupted the power supply - the machine was shifting from battery to power line every few seconds - teh suckage. Unplugged it and went with battery, and everything was okay. Reconnected the plug. Nada. No juice. Went WTF? Looked like the plug finally gave out. Desperate times, desperate measures. Had to whittle some of the warped plastic away with a knife, then work the plug around a little, but it seems to be working.
... will need to drop by a hardware place and get a new power cable sometime soon.
Now back to writing Incarna.
