I\'ve been hating computers today as I woke up to find a corrupted partition table on my linux hard drive. I couldn\'t recover it so had to balst away the partition table and all data on the drive. Luckily, all my data is redudantly backed up on other drives and PCs so I didn\'t lose anything of real consequence. The major things that come to mind are some code updated I\'d done to this blog and a web stats project I\'d been working on sporadically.

On the bright side of things, I now have recovery down to a 3 hour proces to a usable machine. I\'ve also got GNOME running with anti-aliasing, something I couldn\'t get for some reason through the usual apt-get dist-upgrade methods.
