a strange death

this morning I come down to find my thinkpad powered down. Searching a little in the logs shows:

Mar 26 02:35:11 sharrow kernel: ACPI: Critical trip point
Mar 26 02:35:11 sharrow kernel: Critical temperature reached (100 C), shutting down.
Mar 26 02:35:11 sharrow kernel: Critical temperature reached (95 C), shutting down.

However the fans work and at the moment the temperature is only 50 C.

So why did it get so hot?

Elements 6 demo gone?

This morning I saw a 'download the 30 day demo' link for Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. By the time I got into work (with the fat internet pipe) the link was gone and following the link that was there before gives me only windows versions to download.

Oh well.

a per policy

I just noticed Cisco has a blogging policy. So just to make it clear: "the views expressed on this blog are mine and do not necessarily reflect the views of Cisco".

As if anybody would get confused about this.

Anyway you'll notice that I will sometimes comment about Cisco related stuff, but only by quoting public documents. That way I'm certain I'm not leaking something confidential, as I'm surrounded by the sticky stuff.
