Secureboot has been the bane of my existence recently. That's what was causing problems on the work laptop, and now it has turned on on my main laptop for some reason. It's locked to On as well, apparently I'd need an administrator password to turn it off. This laptop was from an old prospective employer that never asked for it back, so I'm certainly not going to be able to get that changed.

Early morning tv review.
The Hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Netflix. 3 episodes.
This was a well made short over view of the events leading up to and the reaction to the events of 9/11. It showed the dedication, skills and the personal cost experienced of all those involved in bringing justice and making the world safer.

( maybe shouldn't have stayed up watching this, tho I already know this story well having read many technical books and biographies . So no surprises. But I did have a nasty nightmare , I think from last Saturday's train drama. )
Seems every time I find some curtains I like they turn out to be made in India by probable near slaves. Either I stop investigating or put it back on the DIY list? Gah, I fucking hate sewing slippery shear things.
