So this morning I woke up and my first generation Drobo was acting funny. I rebooted it, and long story short when it came back it looks like the first 2TB partition, where all my data was stored, was gone, currupted, nuked, or otherwise unavailable.

Long time no blog, so a bit of a wrap up for future-me when I look back on this and wonder what was going on in past-me’s life around summer of 2009. First of all, a change in Job. Sadly my very fun stint at Layer 7 came to an end around the end of
Saw this post over on the flickr blog about the Duxford airshow. This was (I think) a show I went to ages ago, some of the pics are pretty cool, I remember it being a great show. There are some other links to other great pics in the pool. If I’m wrong and I’ve never
