hard disks

Nothing like waking up with the sound of a hard disk trying (and failing) to read the same block over and over again. ruptime told me folk's load average was over 6, where it's usually around 0.10...

Had to e2fsck -c a few times to get it fixed. Since that was my homedir's partition (and since my mail goes to ~/Maildir), it's not unlikely that I've lost some mail. If you're expecting a reply from me and you didn't get it, well, you know why.

I really need to finish that transition to western...

Oh well.
