Oh, bloody heck. My laptop just bricked up hard.

[elfs]

I was just typing along when suddenly the whole machine froze. Then, when I tried to reboot, I got a CRC error from the current kernel. I shut the machine down, picked a lower level kernel, and it made it about three minutes before it froze up again.

Now, it won't even post to BIOS.

I hope the harddrive's okay. I've been naughty about backup (and I even have a backup brick!) and it's been two months, maybe three, since my last.

I have an old laptop in the basement. I'll put the hard drive in there, put in a rescue disk, and write the contents out to the backup brick.

I so do not need this

Good luck getting the data back. And thanks for reminding me it's time for a backup ;)
