Blink... blink...

Between the time change (it's dark) and the weather (it's wet) it's been a bad morning for driving. Luckily the streets were practically empty in my neighborhood when I took the Younger Daughter (super_star_girl) to school. And again a few minutes later when I brought her the pair of glasses she'd left on the shelf. Probably did it just to try out her new cell phone, her big 14^th birthday present.

Spent most of yesterday afternoon moving data around on my fileserver, trying to upgrade from three ill-assorted disk drives (4 and 9 GB SCSI, and a 120GB IDE drive) to a 200GB IDE drive. It's done except for moving the root partition, which is currently still on the 120, and archiving the current state of things on the 120. This requires compression, because it's currently 97% full. And that's slow.
