I <3 linux
Let no one ever say a bad word about Linux again, for I shall smite you.
So I got home from a long and tiring day at work, to find crappy windoze had decided to corrupt beyond repair. I like it when it makes decisions like that. So after an hour of trying everything under the sun, I was about to give up, and consign all my precious data to cyber-hell. (To be fair, all my work and stuff is on the slave, I was more upset about the 4 gig of music).
HOWEVER, in a flash of inspiration, I remembered I had Knoppix on a CD (distro of Linux that boots and runs entirely off CD - marvellous thing), and lo and behold I'm now managing to salve my data. Huzzah for linux.
Of course, when I've salvaged it all I then have to format the drive and reinstall everything... but c'est la vie - I've got the important stuff. I'll probably get around to that tomorrow morning, if I can be arsed, seeing as how it's my birthday and all. Oh, actually, it's gone midnight. Happy birthday me. Woo-fricking-hoo. Thanks for the present Mr Gates. Arsehole.
