I searched all over the INTERNET, with no concrete solution until I came across this solution. A really simple of solution to a really annoying problem, especially when were planning to get some work.

The reason for the problem was the ribbon cable under the battery became loose/bent and that caused the keyboard/track pad to stop working. I really needed to get back to work so I took the quick fix of sticking in a post-it note to get going.

Thankfully IT confirms its under warranty and it will be sorted out, but this is really wired, my 3year old Acer Travelmate 2400 has had not even a single problem, ok the battery died but that was eventual, no hardware problems so far..

Anyway, I am still looking forward to getting a personal mac-book, despite of what happened to the Macbook Pro, its still worth it.

It amazes me what how confident I was in my younger years and basically took up anything that helped me get to my goal, looking back (and connecting the dots) it seems that more often than ever I failed in doing what I wanted to do, but in the absence of someone or some thing to tell me what the right way was, my failures proved to my ‘golden rules’ to not do things, the wrong way second time around.

Just came across a tweet by Guy Kawasaki which had a link to this video.

However as a resolution for this year, i would try and post as regularly as possible on this blog.
I intend to use this blog for posts related to what I do, technical learnings and related time management and GTD stuff that i read about.
