OK… so, you’d think that maybe a 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus might not run as well as a 4-year-old PC. Welp… no.
So over the weekend, my new 60G drive on my main Windows box failed. I haven’t ripped it out to see what the failure is, or if the disk is under warranty (I suspect not), but what a drag. Luckily, no real data was lost — just a ton of installed apps that I’ll now have to install _again_. Bah.
Also, my work notebook decided to randomly lose the taskbar for most of today when the battery died and the thing shut down. Why? I don’t know. But then it suddenly fixed itself. Bah.
Just to show that Linux isn’t immune, I foolishly upgraded something on my storage server, and suddenly KDE (the Windows of Linux) and LDAP (used for authentication) weren’t working. They’re fixed now, but man what a pain to troubleshoot.
Grump.
