New Bad Religion album, "The Empire Strikes First" is now out...be sure to check out the free downloads on the site including, "Let Them Eat War," which just absolutely rocks!  Strangely, they don't seem to have the album on iTunes.

They will be in the Houston area 06/25/2004 and Dallas on 06/26/2004 with the Warped Tour.  Check em out if you get a chance because they are absolutely incredible live.

My Linux box got spiked in yesterday's huge storm. It is not very happy...when I went to reboot the hard drive started clicking like crazy. It's been booting for the better part of a half hour now. I doubt I'll be able to recover much...especially with no network connectivity. I promise I will start backing up data, I promise I will start backing up data, I promise...

On the bright side, the firewall came up, so I'm relatively secure from hacking while I attempt to recover crap.

Update: I managed to get most of the user data off of the drive...but since I had disabled remote root login I couldn't get a lot of the system config stuff since the hard drive mounted as read-only. Still, most of the important, irreplaceable stuff I managed to salvage.

Still, just on a whim I decided to try and reboot the box after I had copied the data over to my laptop.  I was greeted by the following:
It just spiraled into a random assortment of clicks and whirrs from there.  I guess it's off to Circuit City to get a new hard drive later today.
