Slovenia: Fan And Book

Old laptop, new OS, still slow? Usually your cooling system is totally dirty and airflow non-existent. Solution can be quite simple, just clean the fan, or it can turn into a nightmare, because you can not reach the fan without disassembling 90% of your computer. A hint prom the professional: YouTube is your friend.

This is not a filter, it is just dust, blocking the airflow

As part of Alpine Club school we needed to read a book and I chose a Slovenian author and an alpinist, Nejc Zaplotnik and his book Pot (The Way). I must say the book, actually the climbing life of Nejc, was very good and I would recommend it to everyone, not only alpinists. He climbed several new routes in the mountains of Slovenia, he was active in the Alps, Yosemite and the Himalayas, where he climbed new difficult routes on Hidden Peak, Makalu and Everest.

The most famous quote from the book is:
“Anyone looking for goal will remain empty when it will be reached, but whoever finds a way, will always carry the goal inside.” 
― Nejc Zaplotnik, Pot

On May 13, 1979: Andrej Štremfelj and Jernej (aka Nejc) Zaplotnik reached the Summit via the true West ridge and descend via the Hornbein Couloir.  This large Yugoslav expedition was lead by Tone Škarja. The Summits successfully ended two-months' endeavors of the Yugoslav expedition. The Slovenian Route along the Western Ridge of Everest still ranks among the toughest Everest routes.
