Laptop back.

Pity it had to be a few days late. Oh well.

It appears something's going wrong with the hard disk, though; might have had a too hard shock in some car. Really hope it's not actually something going bad, but I don't think so; the kernel message mentions the same sector all the time. I'll have it run e2fsck -c this night.

In the mean time, western is misbehaving. Not exactly sure why, but it doesn't do networking for some reason. Have I finally got my laptop back, now the server starts misbehaving. sigh...
