Drive Replaced

[billroper]

It was a nice, if cool, evening here (we're back from summer to the early part of spring, it seems), so we piled in the van and drove down to Fry's, where I picked up a replacement hard drive to swap for the failed one in my RAID array. Then we had dinner at the nearby Famous Dave's.

*burp*

The new drive is now installed and busy reestablishing the mirror. Of course, the first thing that I found after rebooting was that I had no network. Fortunately, a trip to the basement to unplug and replug the cable modem and router fixed that problem.

This is good. The last thing I wanted tomorrow was another trip out for a new router...

As crappy as their constant web ads were, my X10 remotes were perfect for turning off/on my cable modem and router, which were buried in the back of our o/f/f/i/c/e/ storage room.
