The Geeko bulb blew.

During one of my many tries at installing 42.2-beta, the Geeko
light-bulb blew! It grew steadily brighter as usual but didn’t stop. It
kept on getting brighter and brighter until the bulb blew. The
background was green but the Geeko filament had turned black.

An interesting variation on the normal display but one I’ve only seen
once in a few dozen installs of Leap. Fun.

This screams for data miners to find out why it did that :smiley:

Take some doing, I reckon, as it hasn’t happened since. Fun while it
lasted though. If we can’t get penguins, at least more occasions of the
light-bulb going ‘poof!’ would be a diversion. :wink:
