I’ve somehow managed to break the screen on my laptop. I think I may have stood on it (accidentally), which, for an all too obvious reason, was a bad idea.

I’m not au fait with the ins and outs of laptop repair, but I’m assuming I’ll be able to get it fixed. How much it will cost is another matter…

And on a completely unrelated note, I’m now the Chair of the LDYS Conference Committee. Yay me. (Unfortunately, my predecessor was – well, is – very knowledgeable, organised and hard-working, which is quite something to live up to.)

Update: Having had a quote, I’ve decided it would be probably be gratuitiously profligate to get the screen repaired. Although there is damage, most of the screen is still usable and at a high resolution there is more than enough space on the desktop.
