hard drive may be failing

My HDD is on the cusp of failing. What a pain. chkdsk /r gets to 20% now and I can actually get back into windows, but restarting the system is a terrible risk of not getting back to my data.

Dropped Karate Class

Today I officially dropped my karate class. Maybe I’ll look for the Kenpō or, better yet, the Tai Chi class during the summer to experience something new.

Spidery Dreams

I had yet another dream about spiders last night. I wonder why I have so many dreams with these critters in them? True, I saw a small spider much earlier in the day yesterday, but I don’t have arachnophobia.

On one hand it’s cool, on the other? Not so much.

Updating PGP Keys

My PGP keys have been removed from the keyserver. My pass phrase was not working, perhaps as a result of one or more of my keyboard’s keys unknowingly not working when I originally generated the keys. New keys should be available within the next 24 to 48 hours of this post.

Passed Karate Test

I passed last night’s karate test and will receive my orange belt tomorrow evening. They didn’t have my size on the evening that I took the test. More info & photos later.

Signed The Korean Trip Sheet

This morning I signed the sheet saying that I’ll be going to Korea in May. Wow, I must be crazy. :-D Now it will be a matter of paying for the ticket…

Good Quote

“Everyone likes to say Hitler did this and Hitler did that. But the truth is Hitler did very little. He was a world class asshole, but the evil actually done, from the death camps to World War Two, was all done by citizens who were afraid to question if what they were told by their government was the truth or not, and who because they did not want to admit to themselves that they were afraid to question the government, refused to see the truth behind the Reichstag Fire, refused to see the invasion by Poland was a staged fake, and followed Hitler into national disaster.”

Dumped Traineo

Traineo doesn’t quite work, so I dropped it. Assume 5+ miles/ day 5 days/ wk, & two days of 1hr karate sessions. Have lost 1+ lb & counting.
