It's a combination of the heat and isolation that does it, Dongle.

Ah well, we only do it because we know LD can handle the humour. I wish I could say what had caused the problem though. Strange effects can occur when a program hangs. Some sort of graphical thing happened to Chrome I guess. Perhaps just a one-off random fault that will never happen again. Keep the cache clear and forget it for now.

If it were to keep happening, then turning off hardware acceleration could be tried. Also resetting Chrome.

There, that's much more sensible.

Maybe it was done by pressing 'Shift+GH+ALT+Win+>' while holding the right mouse button down and gently humming Bohemian Rhapsody.
It was The Sound of Music mart but close.

It comes up as yellow marks, if you go in there.

Exactly 24 hours later, it explodes.

Not happened since so I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Not even my usual sleep whilst online.

Maybe, you were imagining you were Dorothy, following the yellow brick road?
