I was sitting there minding my own business when I got the click o' death from my computer. Apparently my hard drive is toasted so I'm without a computer. I'm using Dave's laptop right now, but I've lost a lot of data, and I'm without internet access.

F--k.

*Update.*

I had to spend some money I didn't really have to buy a new hard drive. Apparently they don't manufacture my type of hard drive anymore so it was hard to get. I did get one, it's larger than the original, but it's working. I was hoping my overheating problem would have been solved by the clean OS install but apparently that's wishful thinking. At first my computer was idling at 35ºC but after a night of leaving it on for a night, it's back to its old high-temp tricks again. Oh well, at least I'm back up. Now begins the long reinstall process.
