I love computers — Not…!

Last night we had a little weather incident. Lots of lightning, a couple of near strikes, loss of power. Computer came back up this morning, but when I got home this evening, I found that drive one of my two drive desktop system was making very nasty noises. Very nasty noises. It’s dead and the system won’t boot. But…. With a Linux rescue disk, I’ve confirmed that the second drive is good and that’s where most of my data is and as far as I can tell, all is well with that drive. Unfortunately, I can’t easily get at the drive. I’ll need to replace the primary drive and figure out a way to get to boot and access the second drive. Meantime, I’ll be using my laptop.

    It sounds more like you are living in Florida (like me) than Oregon. I gave up on have a 3D graphics card in my computer. It would always be fried within a month, and I’d have to go back to the old standby.

    I like the white gansey you have in your sidebar.

    Have you tried recipes from the Crust and Crumb recipe book. I’m tempted to order that one. I have had it in my amazon wishlist for quite a while.
