Counting the minutes!
Yay, Roo fixed the RAID-5 array which failed in one of our archive boxes here and everything seems to have rebuilt perfectly with no data loss. It's been so hot here this summer (not that Toronto's not always insanely hot and muggy in June through August) that I've been so paranoid about having irrecoverable hardware problems. So I didn't lose any of my old photos…
Jon and Nefarious arrive from the California and Hawaii excursion today… I spent today running around doing the last errands before they're back, so hopefully I didn't forget anything. In theory the plane has already landed, so it's just about time to figure out what yummy thing should be cooked for supper. I'm pretty sore and swollen from all the excitement (although really, it's been less than a week since I was hacked to bits, so it's amazing that I'm up and about at all), but really I'm so happy that it kind of overrules all of that anyway. Woo woo!
Anyway… Other than that I read some very bad news today about a few old friends getting in trouble over a body modification procedure gone wrong — a castration in this case, in which bleeding could not be adequately controlled. It sucks because they're nice people and don't deserve to be hassled by the police and have their lives ripped apart over completely consensual and sane activities in which no one was ultimately long-term injured.
