CRASH!

November 11th, 2003 · No Comments · Macintosh

My powerbook just locked up badly.. I was typing in XCode (I had auto-completion on, which I then turned off). As I finished typing a function name, the Unstoppable Spinning Pizza of Death appeared. iTunes stopped playing, and I couldn’t even type a command in the terminal - it would hang when I hit return. I couldn’t even SSH into it from another machine, so I finally did a hard reset.

Isn’t interesting that on a Mac something like this is a newsworthy occurrence :)
