Like a charm.

So I leave for a little while, travel, and... Today I get the e-mail from my dad that my computer at home seems to have died.

Funny that it always dies on him when I'm not around, eh?

Oh well. Not much I can do about it from Nevada. (Which is where I am; spent the day walking the Las Vegas strip. More updates found on http://downthelongroad.livejournal.com ~)

At least I was smrt and did a backup of the drive before I left, sigh.
