Windows Genuine Disadvantage
Sick of Microsoft sticking it's nose in your computer turn off the phone home facility of the Windows Genuine Advantage spyware.
Another dead hard disk
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.Â
