I spent most of the day on my back, resting, today. I had a wisdom tooth pulled last night and this morning I had an adverse reaction to the pain killers. This morning during breakfast I passed out. It took me about two hours just to make it over to the couch, where I remained for the bulk of the day. As the evening set in I made my way to our bad. Shortly thereafter Paige and mom joined me.
I had the iBook on the bed in case I wanted to use it. It wasn't open or on, so when Paige went to fiddle I figured there was little harm. At the very least, she'd get the "button pushing" out of her system. A couple minutes later Marna noted that not only had she opened it, but she had also turned it on and was bouncing around random applications. Let's just hope all our data is still intact.
My computer/laptop had to be taken in to be diagnosed and then hopefully repaired. I spent a good deal of time trying to solve the problem myself and learned a lot in the process. I am hoping the hard drive is not wiped out. I am also realizing how I should be better at backing up files and photos. I am going away for the weekend. I hope when I return I will have my computer back.
Hope to be back to posting and commenting more consistently next week!
What's that? Philly, will you pweees make me a cup of tea?" Well I think think I best go put the kettle on.
He sees us using this often enough, and likes to copy what he thinks we're doing. Here he has got back into it from standby and is looking at a photo of some risen dough.

Marcel's old computer from the house had some problems, so Phyllis brought it to the flat and I installed Ubuntu Linux on it. I'm uploading this photo from it.
The picture is a bit dim, but if you look closely you can just make out the elusive technocat - head and tail of a cat, body of a computer.
Yeah...I'm sure I'll eventually clean my desk a bit. Also, the computer is apparently costing me $320/month in electricity bills.

This photo shoot was an amazing use of taxpayer dollars. According to the Navy, this is what computer hackers look like.
Whats that, you want to know wth is going on? Ok ok..
My web storage / blog / wiki / gallery for 7 years, decided to take a nose dive during a gallery upgrade. I think I have most of the data. I thought the drive in question was my SATA drive, so I bought a few more so I could raid/mirror them for future issue.
It wasn't my SATA drive, it was an older EIDE.. My SATA was actually the main boot disc (running Fedora Core 3).
After much depression I got struck with an idea to DD (block disc copy) one disc to another, and then resize the partiion to take advantage of the new space. Looked great until I tried to mirror it, then found out my raid card was a fake-raid card (think software) and leenux just didn't like what it saw when I was finished mirroring it.
Sigh.. 10 hours of work getting all that setup..
Ok, now on order, a few 3.5" drive attachable fans (those new SATA's get hot hot hot), a PCI Slot fan that will help pull more air out of the machine. A new 3Ware Hardware Raid. I feel like a money sieve at the moment. I can only hope in the next few days I'll be working my way back to normal (everything gets here on friday).
Right now my blog is in limbo, the drive it's reading from is read-only so I can't post or do anything on that partition. I hate computer issues.. the bane of living a highly digital lifestyle.
