Not much I can add to what [livejournal.com profile] ramtops has already written, but our day of hardware hell seems to be almost over - if that’s not tempting fate.

I’ve been without computer all day, too, as I keep /home on the server that died. Nice to see this box spring back into life without a qualm though, as soon as the rebodied detritus appeared. Can’t say the same about Windows; our PDC is complaining that it’s lost its “trust relationship” with the box. Different MAC address, maybe, but I haven’t the brainpower right now to do anything about it.

Never mind about setting up the new SATA disks as a RAID1 pair, migrating the linux install onto them and swapping out the old drive so I can connect the (PATA) internal removable backup drive. And whatever else needs doing that I haven’t thought of yet.

Hardware. Hate. HATE. Hatety Hate McHate.

oh, and…

May the memory of whoever invented the magnetic screwdriver be forever blessed.

Anyone who wants to commiserate with my ordeal today, or indeed, laugh and point, can join me tomorrow on the Bristol Pride Cycle with Pride cycling wossname somewhere on the triangle formed by the Arnolfini, Pill and, well, the Failand Triangle. Where I may well mysteriously disappear. I’ll be there unless I’m not.
