Not my first blog

Technically speaking this is not my first blog site but my 3rd one. The first is this one, which could not be classified as a blog in today’s standard, since it is just a static HTML page with plain text only. The second one is this, which is hosted at Debian HK using Drupal as the engine. I started it shortly after the Debian HK site was launched. For the time being, I’ll be using this new blog and the one at Debian HK simultaneously, this one for my daily life and the other one for FOSS and Debian matters, as the latter is linked to Planet Debian HK and I don’t want to “pollute” it with my everyday’s sundry matters :)

Notebook hard disk failed, no 40GB 1.8″ disk in Beijing

The hard disk in my new IBM X40 started misbehaving around 2am last night. Some time earlier it was making rather loud noises. And then two commands (ps and smartctl) locked up the machine and I have to used sysrq magic keys to reboot it. It’s too soon for the harddisk to fail because the notebook was bought in October last year, so it’s about 5 months only. My original plan was to buy a new harddisk, transfer data from the failing one to the new one as much as possible, and then take the failed one to an IBM repair center for a replacement. But the sad news is I could not find a 40GB 1.8″ harddisk (which the IBM X40 can only use, it can’t use the 2.5″ ones) in Beijing’s Zhongguancun(中关村)! Zhongguancun to Beijing is what the Golden computer center to Hong Kong, you go there for any kind of computer hardware and parts. For all the shops I asked which sold 1.8″ harddisk, they only had 20GB. Once again, it proves that if you want to play with the newest electronic toys, your best bet is to try your luck in Hong Kong :|

So bear with me if I’m a bit slow in replying your emails or such, I think I’ll not be back to full force until I can work on my notebook again.

Damn…

It’s so uninteresting…


Your Brain is 40.00% Female, 60.00% Male


You have a total boy brain

Logical and detailed, you tend to look at the facts

And while your emotions do sway you sometimes…

You never like to get feelings too involved
