bye bye /dev/ad0s1a
We've had two unscheduled power cuts in the last two days; my machine has
crashed twice. Some time during the first crash, ad0 got a little unhappy.
After the second crash, it was royally fscked. Or at least it wouldn't even
fsck.
So I'm in the process of rebuilding my machine. Getting this blog back is
part of the process. Hopefully this'll appear online sometime :) And
hopefully the rest of the blog is still around somewhere on backups.
It looks like my 40GB Western Digital PATA has had a head crash. I though
things like that didn't happen these days? Bits of the disk read fine and
bits cause the kernel to panic when you try and read them. *sigh*

How to get a Zimbabwean passport
Having just recently spent an extraordinary amount of time over three days
in various queues at Harare passport office trying to renew my passport I
thought I'd share some of the information that it would have been useful if
I'd known before starting :-)
See more ...
