Mongo only pawn, in game of life.

Wesley. Fucking. Crusher.

With apologies to Wil Wheaton.

This thing has been making its way around Planet Debian lately, and I made the mistake of clicking on it and filling out the questionaire.

It thinks I am:

Which Fantasy/SciFi Character Are You?

Yes, that’s right. Wesley Fucking Crusher. Sorry, Wil, you’ve built up a body of work that’s damn respectable, but I do NOT like that character. I demand a do-over! DO-OVER! MULLIGAN! RETAKE!

Whatever….

Fuck Maxtor. Fuck Them in Their Fucking Goatass.

I had a very bad experience with Maxtor disks in the late 90s – they ate themselves and took my data with them. But a couple of events recently led me to owning two Maxtor disks - an external 250GB Firewire/USB and a 200GB internal (that I promptly stuck in a Firewire case).

Both of them have failed. At the same time. Together. Taking approximately 400GB of data with them. Fucking yay.

The 250 I’ve resurrected temporariliy – I stuck it in the freezer and it seems to have woken up. The 200’s cooling off right now, we’ll see how long it makes it.

NOTE TO SELF: Seagate or Western Digital ONLY. Accept no substitutes, dickhead.
