I had to buy a copy of PowerQuest Drive Copy to really make it stick, but at least I get a spare 20 gig when this P/// arrives later today. *sigh* and indeed relief.

am spending a fraught night in with my ailing ppro file server, a dodgy fujitsu boot disk, a hopefully healthy seagate replacement, a debian rescue floppy and judicious use of ghost, fdisk and chroot. I'd much rather be out having a beer, but unfortunately this will have to suffice. replacement machine — pentium /// 600 […]

I got sucked into the new novel Goodnight Steve McQueen by first time author Louise Wener , formerly lead temptress ^W songstress for britpop band Sleeper, who I *adore*. Is it sad to say that? Probably. Do I care? Not much. I was really into them while I was at uni, bought all their albums, […]

Probably […]
