A quick review for those of you who don’t score at home:
- I run Linux on the desktop
- A month ago, I corrupted my Linux partition and have been running Windows since
- The hard drive may or may not contain bad blocks (read: I no longer trust the drive)
- A new hard drive, therefore, was required to get back to Linux
- I ordered said hard drive maybe a week and a half ago
- Said hard drive was to ship yesterday
Now everyone’s more or less up to speed (not that it matters). What do I find in my email?

What does this mean? That I’m going to be on Windows far longer than I had planned – likely through OSCON at least. Highly unfortunate.
