Computer Woes
It looks like my home desktop computer is Mostly Dead. That is, the hard drive upon which my Operating System resides is not responding. The computer reboots, but it can only find the disk sometimes, and when it can find it, it can't read it. I've done the "reboot N times while attempting to tweak things" and I probably just damaged the disk further. (sigh)
I expect it is because of the heat; the computer was behaving erratically yesterday too.
I do not have time to fix it or replace it before I fly away for Christmas, because I have to spend the time getting ready to go away, and there's lots of stuff still to do for that, and I'm already going to lose a day of that preparation, because nobody should be expected to do anything on a day with a top of 41C (which is tomorrow) (when I was planning to do laundry and survey my clothes for packing).
Gah!
So. While I am getting ready for Christmas, and while I am away for Christmas, and until the unknown time after that when I get a fixed or replacement computer running:
a) www.katspace.org will be down
b) I will not receive any email
If you wish to contact me, I'll still be keeping an eye on Dreamwidth and LJ and Twitter (because I still have internet and a working laptop), though I might not be able to when I'm away.
(sigh)
Of course these things happen in heatwaves, that's just the way life is. (sigh) Computers are more fragile than human beings.
