Uh, oh.

Those of you who know me - or were here for the Saturday portion of the Texas Blogfest - know that I run a small network here at my humble abode.  I have the file/internet server, the Big Box™ in my room, another desktop in another room, and about two or three laptops going at any one time.  The Big Box™, though, is where I do most of my work and keep most of my stuff.

Last night, as I was trying to upgrade the Big Box™ to posher digs, I lost the primary drive on the machine - an 18.2 SCSI.  At first, I thought the SCSI card had crapped out.

This morning, I heard the dreadful sound of my drive...clicking.  Click...click...click...

First thought:  Oh, shit.

Hence, I'll be devoting my time to getting the Big Box™ back online, which means that posting may be a bit light.

Watch this space.

UPDATE:  As it happens, all I've lost to this point is the D: drive.  I've narrowed it down to either the drive or the connector cable.

If it's the D: drive, it's not terrible, but that's where I kept a lot of the mp3s.  Hilary Rosen might think that's a good idea, but for me it'd suck royally.

Stay tuned.
