Turns out the slave hard drive on my primary PC had died in such a way that it wasn't allowing the BIOS to recognize the primary drive. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that unplugging the secondary allows the PC to see the primary again, and wiped my brow in relief as I didn't have to reinstall the entire operating system.

On the down side, all my music was on the secondary, so it's time to re-rip it all. This might take a while with approximately 1000 CDs...

Bah! Got up this morning early to go to the cricket only to find my primary PC dead in the water. The power was on, and the disk activity light was hard on. I left it powered down and went and watched the first day of the second test between India and Australia.

Australia won the toss and elected to bat, only to fall to 6/134. Then a great partnership between Andrew Symons and Brad Hogg saved the day, to see the Aussies 7/376 at stumps on day one.

A great day's cricket.

Happy New Year! I had a quiet night, just having a few drinks with some friends at the local, and was home in time to watch the fireworks on TV.

Hope you all have a great year.
