Ah 5 years

My OS Drive finally bit the dust in my desktop, good ol’ 160GB ATA133 lasted 5 years (pretty impressive) of near constant usage. I’m normally not a Maxtor (now Seagate) fan however 5 years is pretty good. I’ve replaced it with a 500GB Seagate Barracuda SATAII drive. Did a rsync of /home and I’m back online within a hour of a catastrophic drive failure with no data lost and no settings lost. Ahhh behold the power of linux 🙂

However something did go seriously wrong in the midst of the old drive removal;

Fedora FreeMedia for April

I’ve got a new toy for Fedora FreeMedia in April, I’ve managed to finally pick up a new SATA DVD burner. My old reliable DVD burner was still working just fine however burning 50+ DVDs a month @ 4x was getting painfully slow. I’ve now got a 20x with lightscribe 🙂

So since I’ve got the lightscribe feature I figured I might as well use it!

Why in the heck

Are the record companies putting out like 15 albums I want this week? I have no time to enjoy them… and what’s worse is there will be nothing but crap for the rest of the year… Can we pace ourselves a bit guys? is this necessary?

*sigh*

Anyways Pennywise has a good album coming out, so does Anti-Flag, No Use for a Name, The Counting Crows, R.E.M. and others…

Finally the end of what’s been a grueling week.  First we have Digital Overload from Mar 6th – 10th then I get home (at 11p mind you) from Rhode Island only to have to get up the next morning and go to work.  I didn’t even get to unpack my suit case until last night.  Thank god I have recently gone on a clothes shopping spree or I would have been wearing sweatpants and a white tshirt to the office (not that I would mind that… in fact that might be enjoyable however disturbing it may be).  Now finally the weekend is upon me and I intend to do absolutely nothing, and only hope that it can be everything I want it to be.  I still have to make sure I hit the gym and what not to keep on my routine (going on 4 weeks now and I feel better than ever).

I’ll probably be working on some code this weekend as a form of relaxation, a lot of CoD4, some Burnout Paradise among other laziness promoting ideas!
