In memorial of a great home-dir

Well, my harddisk finally gave up on me (and vice versa). So now lillesvin is running on my dad’s server, which means 128kbps upstream instead of 256kbps.

It was a good home-dir, always loyal to me — it followed me for 3 years. So it’s not without a tear in my eye and a quivering voice I bid it farewell. Hopefully it is now mounted some place better.

I was able to save most of my websites (both code and content), but the hdd I lost was unfortunately the one holding my /home, so my precious home-dir, my configuration-files, images, music etc… Is lost!

Well, I’m still studying linguistics, I’m still living in the middle og Aarhus and I’m still alive. That should answer most of the questions you haven’t even thought off while I’ve been offline.

As you can plainly see, nothing much has happened while I’ve been offline – things will probably continue to not happen for a while around here, except from some minor updates and some plain boring messages in the blog. So stay tuned for more boredom from the east-coast of the western part of good old boring Denmark.

Top 3 of things that doesn’t contain a lot of water:

  1. An empty coffee mug
  2. Four (dry) copies of the Linux Journal
  3. The common perception of the theory of Functinal Grammar

Did you notice that my keyboard wasn’t on the list?
That’s because cola contains a lot of water…
