My motherboard died, somehow three different hard drives got corrupted after being connected to it. I bought a new motherboard, built a scaled down PC (1 hard drive, 1 dvd-rw drive, you get the idea). As soon as I redownload ubuntu and burn it to disk I'll be set to reliably surf the interweb.

My main computer is dead again, and there's still no work from the temp agencies.
