Internode Games Network News: StarCraft II - Finally, some real, proper information - and pictures!!

Looks like Blizzard have not just been concentrating on World of Warcraft. In fact Starcraft II is coming out in October. I must admit I never played the original and I haven't got the uber micro required to play RTS online so I will give the single player a go. Then again, I don't seem to be able to keep up with the games I have at the moment so I'm not in any hurry for a new one.

Back to Silent Hunter 4 for me :)

Another disk drive died today. This one was the system disk of my HTPC which runs Gentoo. I first noticed the problem when it dropped off the network and then was taking forever to rip a DVD. Rebooting only made things worse, Grub couldn't find the kernel. Uh oh!

So I'm in the process of trying to see if I can recover anything using information I found about using dd with disk errors:

Next I will have to do a fresh new install of Gentoo, what a pain.
