Life Less Literary

Aaargh! Why is life like this?

I just got around to installing a new hard disk. Finally. My 120Gb MP3 drive was almost full, and was starting to report the odd error (losing indexes), so I bought a new 200Gb one, ooh, ages ago, but haven’t been arsed to open up the computer and stick the new one inside until yesterday.

And today, guess what? Another one of my (many) hard disks decided to go offline. Windows disk manager just shows it as “missing” and “failed”. I’m not exactly sure what that means, but it doesn’t sound good. Fortunately, it’s the disk I use mainly as a temp drive, there was nothing of any lasting value on it except for my rips^B^B^B^Bbackups of DVDs, but all the same I had been looking forward to having some extra space to play around with. Damn damn damn.
