Sometimes, I really wonder why it is I like computers so much.

Anyone that knows me (at all) knows that I am a geek to the core. I love computers. My job and my hobbies have me spending far too much time in front of a machine. But there are some days..

First of all, a server I maintain at work decided to get itself sick over the holiday weekend. It was a Win2K box. It would turn on, boot, and then freeze at some random interval after that. I managed to get the data I needed copied onto another HD (in case the HD itself was bad, which I now think was the case.. ).

I first tried installing debian on the first machine. It hung randomly during the install process, which made me think I should try the drive in a different box, and maybe that would work. So, I tried using various machines to boot the previous OS, and when I finally found a machine to use, it seems the nt kernel had shot itself in the head. YAY. So now, we're on to plan F.

And to top it all off, it snowed like the bejeezus here. I am not the best snow driver in the world (I tend to avoid driving in the snow whenever possible). So getting home will be fun.

The only good thing about today is that German was cancelled due to the snow. I know, I shouldn't be happy about that, I am the one that opted to take the class in the first place, but there's been so much going on that most of what I learned at the beginning of the semester has fallen out of my head already.
