<p>Yesterday my MacBook Pro started to act weird, and I began getting a lot of these in my system.log</p>

<p>bq.</p>

<p>Which according to <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=kernel%5B0%5D:+disk0s2:+0xe0030005+%28UNDEFINED%29">Google</a> means my disk is failing&#8230; Which means crap, damn crap!</p>

<p>It also means that I got the chance to test out the free demo of <a href="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html">SuperDuper!</a>  that can backup and clone drives. So far it seams like a really cool app. (and If it saves my data, I&#8217;m definitely going to pay for the extra features, even if I&#8217;m never going to use them).</p>

I really dig Apple’s products, they look nice, they feel nice, they even work nice…

But when things break, Apple sometimes sucks…

I broke my arrow down key on my almost shinny new PowerBook, guess I read too much mail.

I walked up to Apple’s booth on LinuxForum last saturday, and asked them how to get this fixed as easy as possible – I really just need the arrow down key – and they said: “You must send it in for repairs, we’ll change the entire keyboard”.

How stupid is that? – I couldn’t even buy the missing key, and I can’t live with out my laptop as it is my main workstation for both $work and $home.

Come on Apple, you can do better than that!

I finally got NSI to fix the glue record for ns.hashbang.org, so now everything should work as it should! – Sorry for the downtime.

The whole thing is now running on 4 machines, with two more to be added shortly.
