Platter Of Death

My OS hard drive died. Not just regular-died. MEGA-died. Like, if I leave it on the IDE chain, I can't even get to my BIOS because the drive is so corrupt. That's how dead it is. So now I'm getting setup with a new Ubuntu install on an old Seagate that was lying around. It's not the OS install that takes a long time, it's getting every little thing set up the way I like. And compiling Mono takes AGES (that's right, I run from SVN - releases are for cowards). Dear awesome cloud-based thin client desktop, I'M READY WHEN YOU ARE! Love, me.

It's 2009. Do you know where your children are?
