06:48 how is it that the NINE SMS that I sent hubby from 2-4pm yesterday are NOT YET RECEIVED as of this morning? black hole, much? #
06:50 good thing the ONE SMS he sent at 4pm reached me, or I'd have been jittering that his heart had gone wonky. #
06:51 Sorry, SMART, but as a loyal subscriber these many years, yesterday was NETWORK FAIL. #
09:41 This looks like an interesting service: picnik.com - online photo editing ping.fm/X9wdF #
09:42 [In the tech world, porn quietly leads the way - CNN.com] EHEM. Look at the photo that begins the article... ping.fm/jYu62 #
13:52 Yay! Managed to bork my Linux box, root filesystem not mounting. Yay for working WinXP netbook, looking for solution now. :) #
14:34 Ha. found a LiveCD. hopefully I can revive laptop in a little bit. #
14:35 this begs the question of where I successfully securely stored my back-up CD of my current Linux Mint 8, thanks much. #
14:36 observation: have learned a little bit about nano and vi. not bad in all this heat. #
14:38 the minute i can transfer all my files to the spare HDD, i'm good to go. which starts about now... #
14:40 Oh, but this is going to be SLOW. Happily, there is cold Coke in the ref. And munchies. *nods happily* #
16:09 back in the driver's seat again! :) a little twiddle with a LiveCD, is all it took. now to address the permissions problem... #
17:02 so the good news: the most important data on the troublesome external drive can be backed up. the bad: need to reformat drive later. #
17:03 plus, some files got corrupted in the transition...am feeling rather MacArthur Park about that. "...I'll never have that recipe again..." #
17:03 but all in all, I seem to have come out of it fairly unscathed. am grateful! #
17:08 come to think of it...i haven't accessed a lot of those files for more than a year now? maybe a cosmic hint to declutter! :) #
19:36 so now the music library is backed up on the other hard drive, and the netbook. SURELY things will be calm and serene once more now. #
19:56 great. now the netbook's Recycle Bin is acting funky. *tilts head* can live with it - it's Windows, no biggie. *chuckle* #
20:37 so having moved everything moveable off the WD Passport, have reformatted it. it should behave quite well now. *gives it The Look* Now, BATH #
20:41 i have 175 feed posts to look at after bath. some will be bulk-deleted. gosh, leave 'em alone for just a *minute*...! *grin* #
