Last night at some point in time while I was sleeping my Linux drive got corrupted somehow, I woke up this morning to it frozen and when I tried to reboot (after a hard shutdown) the system told me it encountered an irrecoverable error on the drive on some block and pretty much was unable to start the system, nothing was mountable. Lovely!!!
So now I have reformatted ALL my drives and I am rebuilding my system from scratch - AGAIN.
This also comes at a bad time since I am moving cross country in a week. Right now I got WinXP reinstalled on what used to be the Linux drive (so if the drive actually IS dying it is not a big deal, I wanted to put Linux on my much larger drive anyway)…. anyways over the weekend I am going to be dealing with the headache of getting Linux to use wifi - again.
Needless to say I am out of the production work for at least a week, most likely more. I did however get 3 scenes set up for anyone to work with in the SVN, animation that is. The spider is already setup as a proxy (the spider is linked in) so there is no need to do much else except animate it - if anyone is up to the task that is.
Once I do get my linux system running right I will be able to jump in again and continue working. Sorry! I really did not expect THIS to happen - my damn curse keeps rearing its head and biting.
