EEE victory!

I've tested my EEE -- which has a battery life of < 1hr -- with [livejournal.com profile] bugshaw's EEE-battery and discovered that it can run for longer on a battery. (1.5 hours so far and 30% battery left.) Not only is the standard Asus-supplied battery not great, I have an inferior example. Have ordered fab shiny new extended BIGGER battery via Amazon.

In other EEE news, I note that it allegedly uses power even when not running! (cite). Lucky the battery's so easy to remove ...

In other non-EEE news, insomnia: the gift that keeps on giving. Apparently I still have a fragile sleep cycle: have been getting very tired of late (post-infections) and found myself sleeping 11 hours the night before last, waking at 11am. So of course last night I couldn't get to sleep at all until nearly cat o'clock (arbitrary point in time, generally between 6am and 8:30am, defined as 'OWWWW okay, I get it, breakfast-time, now take your claw out of my eyelid'). Am functioning on about 3 hours' sleep and ooooh my bed looks lovely. But I must keep wakeful til 10pm at least, to reset.
