Anyone familiar with Clonezilla Live or other open source disk imaging solutions? I only want to clone a single machine. Clonezilla seemed to have one of the simpler sets of instructions, but I'm running into trouble embarrassingly early in the process.

I was just going to post to congratulate minorninth on breaking the top 10 all time downloads on sourceforge, but it turns out that I will mostly congratulate him and rowneet on their engagement. Hooray! You two are such a cute couple ( Read more... )

A delegation from kuddliphish's family is going down to Hawaii in February, and they have enough room for us as well, so if we paid for airfare, we'd have a place to stay. We haven't decided what to do, though. Basically, we're worried that getting there and back would be stressful and that we might find that we might end up feeling constrained in ( Read more... )

Our computer has recently started making unhappy grindy fan noises when it starts up. It usually goes away in a few minutes (maybe 2-5 in most cases), but I don't trust it.

I think we may want to do some research of our own into what comparable houses in our area have sold for recently. How would you go about that?

The day after we got back from Oregon, I noticed that there were some funny smudge/scratch-type marks on the lower pane of a window at our house. At first I wondered what the cat had done to make them, but then I noticed that they were also on the upper pane, so he'd have to work pretty hard to do that. A closer look revealed that the marks were ( Read more... )

So, seeing this post, you may think that I've chosen to break my rather lengthy silence with some interesting anecdote from my life (or more likely, a request for help with some programming-related thingy). Well, it's not so, but I will ( go on at some length about the rules of the Illuminati game )

I've been playing around with JavaScript a little recently, but the reference I've got right now is from 1998 (The Definitive Guide, 3rd edition). Does anyone have any advice for or against any more recent JavaScript references? I'm also interested in online references, but in addition to a book, not instead of one ( Read more... )
