[Daily Doodle] Down

Well. After labouring over the computer to diagnose, reformat, and reinstall, we are pretty sure the hard drive partition the OS was on has gone bad. The hard drive itself is half a terabyte and is all of a year old. The other partitions so far look like they might be all right, but we're not sure yet.

I'm pretty upset. On the plus side, the partner managed to resurrect one of the laptops, although it' slower than a sloth in molasses, and its continued functioning rests somewhere between dubious and miraculous. Not sure how long it'll take to get the machine I can actually work to get back up. I should be grateful to have (or own!) a computer up at all, however slow and impossible to use, but I am feeling much more grumpy than generous just now =|

Daily Doodle: Don't feel like much of anything elaborate.
Time: 2-3 mins
