a lot of technical fudging around with preparing the laptop for gamedev. it's what it was originally intended for, but i got a little lost over the months when deciding when and how to back stuff up (and my old work laptop has continued to work despite everything).

set up programs as usual. unity will be around, but my satellite prototype will remain at home (hopefully unaffected by poor weather coming to our area while we're away on vacation). i'll still be doing work on the trip, since there will be plenty of down time.
