Good: I wandered into Kinokuniya on the way home, and there at the entrance, instead of the usual pile of Michael Moore's latest crapulation, was a pile of P. J. O'Rourke's Peace Kills. Which I bought.
Not Quite So Good: My latest disk failure seems to have taken with it the only complete copy of Penny Anti in the world. I do have a partial backup, and printouts of almost everything, so I should be able to put it back together. It wasn't that far along anyway, so it's really just a pain rather than a disaster. But I think I've lost one of the villains for good.
(If, like 99.9999999% of the world's population, you have no idea what I am talking about, you can confuse yourself further here.)

I got INN to work! Look out, Usenet, I'm back in business!
(INN has to have one of the most god-awful configuration systems on the planet. Okay, so it's an order of magnitude better than Sendmail, but that still leaves it about three orders of magnitude short of "adequate".)

What's that Lassie?
Bark!
You say that NTFS.SYS has got corrupted on the backup system, while the main system is down due to disk failure, leaving me with 650GB of files that may or may not be any good, and no easy way to tell, and what's more, the Windows XP install disk, the only copy I have with Service Pack 1a built in, and hence the only copy that will boot on this machine, has some sticky gunk on it and can no longer read the NTFS.SYS file when I try to use it in rescue mode?
Woof!
But everything is backed up on DVD-R?
Arf!
On 175 DVD-Rs to be precise? Well, I must admit that's slightly better than no backups at all, but still...
Woof woof bark!
And little Timmy's fallen down the well again? Sucks to be him, doesn't it?
