This has been one busy week. I had a hard drive crash in my job’s desktop box, a bad one. The hard drive is a new one, a 120GB Seagate disc, but the hard drive fan that came with it was defective.
I used Ubuntu Live to reiserfsck the damn thing. Everything was so messed up that I had to –rebuild-sb and –rebuild-tree in my data partitions. I lost GigaBytes of data but, lucky for me, nothing critical. Now all my filesystems are XFS, except for a small 30MB /boot ext3 partition for grub compatibility. God (Cthulhu) bless free software and CHOICE.
Now, the chicha-event of the month, Manuel came to Peru. It was a very short, family-oriented visit, but at least he was present in Nestor’s bithday last Friday. I was there with Rita so finally (almost) everybody met her :-)
He came with a great present:

Since I love british humor, I am a big fan of Monty Python’s Flying Circus and Douglas Adams. And a copy of the Ultimate Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is the perfect gift for a nerd like me.
The next day we went to a chinese restaurant and we had an excelent time :-) You can see the mandatory pics in Manuel’s gallery.
Now he is back in New Orleans with Melissa. He’ll probably be back here again in February.
