My laptop
My laptop is now showing clear signs that its about end its usefulness and a complete hardware failure is imminent. I don’t expect to use it a lot after Friday. If it fails before that time I won’t be able to post updates for the next two days (until 14-April-2016).

i have a amateur question… if you look at von tremor graphic you can notice a clear “pulse” patern in the 2-4hz range, same whit sanskeid. it is just hydrothermal activity, human or magma related?
I suppose that was the EQ in Myanmar (M6.9) earlier today, that was quite clearly visible in the Icelandic plots? Fading out over 5-6 minutes on many of the drumplots. It was 34 km deep.
I even felt a faint tremble here in Swe this afternoon, before noticing noticing the EQ in question. But I didn’t care to look at the time, thinking it was probably just construction blasting.
