Just Random Ramblings

Well it seems my desktop screwed up something. It locked up while doing nothing more than playing tunes in Winamp. Now it's telling me unbootable_mount_device or some shit. I am trying to repair, but it might need a new hard drive. We'll see. So, if you don't see me online, that's why!

Well, I have no music and I have no desktop PC right now. I corrected my boot problems on the PC, but it messed up again and locked up. I then ran a scan on the drive and it fails, so that little baby is getting a replacement from WD. I am not having any luck with WD drives. I just hope the Seagate drive doesn't do me like this. I know the Seagate warranties are much better - 5 years on most drives vs 1 or 3 years with WD.

I guess I will have to use one of the servers or my laptop in the meantime. So I won't have all my programs and such. So, if you ask for something, I might not have it readily available.

The good thing about this is that I *do* have backups! YAY! All data partitions are backed up nightly to the server, and once per week the system parition got backed up as well. Hopefully I'll be able to rebuild the machine from this nice little disaster recover CD that the backup program creates and I'll be on my way in no time. Wish me the best of luck!

Well I am slowly getting everything back to normal after my disk crash on 3 March. I was unable to restore from backup since the following week both of my domain controllers decided to bite the dust as well. I am still trying to figure out wtf happened, but have yet to do so. I might have done something, but I have no clue what! Do you know how fun it is to try to rebuild three machines at once? That's what I spend the end of last week doing. But luckily most everything is back to normal. At least I can retrieve files from my backup if need be, and that has been helpful.

Nothing else really exciting has happened. I'll write more if it does!
