Peter and Jamie came into town yesterday.  We ate at the Shady Grove with the B-Dubs, and it was really nice out on the patio.

Peter and Jamie stayed at our place last night.  Peter and I stayed up way too late talking and stuff.  While we were doing some things with my computer, it died.  It started getting “disk read error, press ctrl-alt-del to restart” right after the POST.  That sent a chill down the old spine.  It was already late, so I didn't attempt to troubleshoot much past restarting it a few times.  Since my Tivo died within the past week, I wasn't feeling too good about it.

When I got home from work, I decided to try some things, and, to make a long story short, it appears the RAID controller on my motherboard is going out.  It still passes internal diagnostics somehow, but nothing can access the drive.  I'm running off of the secondary controller now, and the drive appears to be fully intact, which is a relief.  I didn't really want to buy another one just yet.

Anyway, we had a blast with Peter and Jamie.  I wish they could stay here longer, but I know that they've got to make the rounds and see as many people as possible while they're here.  Thanks, guys.

P.S.  Jamie, sorry if we woke you up with the Roomba this morning.
