Hard drives, another chapter done

I'm really starting to think that hardware has artificial intelligence. It just knows what the best (= worst, from my point of view) moment is to break. On Saturday, I woke up and noticed that the hard drive in my laptop had decided to die - without giving any warning whatsoever. This was pretty annoying given that I had a paper due on Monday. Fortunately, I had a spare disk and I didn't even lose any data in this incident, just one day. While restoring my data, I also noticed again that I really need to re-organize my home directory.

Anyway, even though this hard drive crash changed my plans quite a bit, I managed to write another chapter for my first year report and actually finish it on time. That should give me plenty of time tomorrow to finish up various things and get ready for my trip to Chile.
