Bit of a disaster

For reasons unknown, Gazmond and myself have lost everything we were hosting on his server, Munster. Everything. Nothing's survived. And, as is typical, we're lacking backups, so I'm scouring machines for copies I've worked on, and making the most of the wonderful Wayback Machine and Google caches to fill the gaps in the sites I had up there. Mr Mond is going to see if Bytemark, the hosts, can shed any light on what's happened - and possibly retrieve a backup from their systems.

Many expletives have been uttered from both Pontypridd and Overbury today as a result.

On an entirely different note, I've been making the house stink of aerosol paints today. The case that Ian's old PC (see earlier post) was functional at best, and I wanted to rehouse it, but couldn't really afford a flash new case. So, I've taken a can of red Plastikote paint to an old beige case I've had knocking around for a while, and got something that looks a little more special for the grand cost of £5.45 and a few thousand brain cells from the fumes.

Doesn't look bad, does it? I was racking my brain, trying to think what the colour's reminding me of, and it hit me - it's like a tiny Cray!

So now I'm going to get some black insulation tape on it to add the stripes (and conveniently cover the bits where the paint went wrong...) and pray that the motherboard will fit in the case!
