- This is just a so-called "Catchup" entry since I lost my blog back at the end of the year.
- The two original mem sticks in my HP ML 110 went to the weeds including the SCSI disk. The entire disaster was somewhat my fault as attempts to save the disk by installing a new disk and a new OS (CentOS) I inadvertently corrupted some of the partitions on the old disk.
- Thankfully, I had made a backup of the blog as an exported .zip file. And, this what I am blogging on now. The only real information lost was the end-of-the-year and the beginning of '09.
- It was back-to-back whammies: losing the memory and the HDD and then once I got back-on-my-feet I was hit by a very nasty trojan browser hijacking virus. It took a week and all of my concentration to rid the local Windows box of the worrisome pestilence. Only Windows has this type of problem: not Linux, not Mac, not the topten.org computers, juts Windows.
- More on this in the January catchup entry.
