My work machine wouldn’t boot this morning. This has been coming for a while. I have been getting frequent errors.

The help desk will get me a new machine soon, but it means that I will spend a day or two reinstalling all of the software and tools that I use on a day to day basis.

I found an ancient unused computer in one of the labs and I can coax it to do email and blogger, but that is about the limit of its abilities.

When I get a new computer I will have lost all of my Works In Progress. No great loss as I have uploaded anything good to Google/documents. Still, I have lost quite a bit of time and data.
