A good long nap has me well-rested from the ordeal (not to put too melodramatic a point on it) of the past 2 days, and I'm back in the swing of things.

One thing which I have to admit to, is a bit of after-the-fact self-censorship of my previous post. While I've included a disclaimer.html (_since gone. Ed.) and made it clear (I hope) that this is a personal site, I'm still mulling the pros and cons of any tone of language I choose to use. I'm new to this blogging gig and I'm still finding a 'public voice' I'm comfortable with, so to speak. I don't want to sterilise everything I say since I don't necessarily do that in real life (especially after the comedy of errors yesterday), but I don't want to needlessly put people off, either. So now 'tits-up' is probably the worst word of the post. Since even The Register uses that, I don't feel too bad :)

My weekend agenda now comprises getting back to work after losing two days, and taking a look around for decent hard drive recovery utilities. As mentioned, I don't desperately need to get anything off of the corrupted drive, but if I can it saves some restoring of backups yadda yadda. Also, we've lost a couple of hard drives over the past few months, and I'm thinking that some decent recovery software may help us down the line. I'll be sure to post my findings and opinions.
