prep for productivity

20:29 Tuesday 28 June 2016 JST

My computer's kernel_task was hogging the CPU at 700% usage so I emailed Lantz and he was able to take a look at it today. Turns out it was just dirty, including having something stuck in the fan keeping it from running properly.

Well! I can hardly blame Apple for that, but I'm glad I was able to get it fixed (plus receive a five point driver that can drive the Pentalobe screws) without paying them.

So, now that my machine is working again, I will be able to be productive tomorrow / tonight / right now. Lantz suggested I give the machine a good cleaning about once a year; hopefully this machine will keep working for a long time. We'll see!

Further prep included going to a sewing shop to get some thick thread and needles to fix my bag. I'm bummed that my attempt to buy a Burton bag resulted in Goldilock's Syndrome, but I'm not going to buy a new bag that's not optimal for my needs.
