I harvested a hard drive out of a Linux machine I wasn't using to replace my dead disk in my main machine. I discovered the dead disk was an IBM Deathstar. "Son of a..!" came flying from my mouth.
See, problems with an IBM 60 gig hard drive are very well known and well documented. In fact, I had one of these die on me 3 years ago. I knew what to expect. And I knew I needed to replace it. But it must have slipped my mind shortly after I acknowledged that I had a shit drive in my computer.
Luckily, though, the infested disk is now out of my machine. All is well again in the Jason Complex.

I had my switch blow out on me yesterday while I was at work. Which meant all my internet traffic ceased. This is the second Linksys switch I've had burn up on me in 4 years. I'm thinking of stocking backups just in case.
An odd side effect of this all seems to be the loss of a hard drive in my main computer too. I haven't lost any data....yet. I'm in data recovery mode. It seems when it rains it pours.

I finally got to see Napoleon Dynamite this weekend. Being a geek/need/dweeb/dork I figured I could relate to the struggles of a misunderstood teen. The movie was hilarious with it's dry sense of humor. It was an odd movie, much like the Royal Tennenbaums.
Courtney put it best when a gaggle of teenagers in the theater had trouble controlling themselves, "When you come to see a movie about dorks, you're bound to have dorks in the theater." It made me feel old whining about the rackus noise of the kids. So instead I sat back and appreciated the fact that for 1:30 hrs I was 16 again.

From it's home page:
So here's the scenario: You're out at a bar, riding transit, or even just walking down the street, and some bozo who desperately wants into your pants starts up a conversation with you. Rather than make a scene or make them upset, you're polite and at least nod at the proper times. Then, of course, they ask you for your number. Except this is 2004, so maybe they ask for your email address instead.
That's where Paper Napkin comes in. Give them anyname@papernapkin.net (or paamail.com, to be less suspicious), tell them it's your address, and when they write you, they'll automatically get a response telling them how badly they've been rejected.

What happens when I get a new camera? That's right, dog pictures. I purchase a Canon Digital Rebel 300D and I've spent the last week chasing the dogs around the house. They seem to be the easiest target for my "artform." Sydney is a very photogenic dog while Dottie won't sit still for longer than 3 seconds. I will need to venture out of the house to get some better photos. The dogs are only entertaining for so long.
