I don't think today could get much worse.
On top of everything else, I got a bad disk. But I'm a good techno-weenie so I had a nice tasty backup nearby. I even had a spare disk in the closet. Unfortunately, Linux Volume Manager is not happy about the fact that I have a Physical Volume [...]

In order to get the most flexibility out of my Blackberry, I've decided to move my mail over to Yahoo.com since they are currently the only non-corporate email system that works in flawless two-way synchronization with the Blackberry.

A short collection of news in the world of Daniel. Hopefully, each of these paragraphs is short enough to keep your attention.
