Oooops - /dev/hda1 has a bad sector . . . not good. Thus, main computer is decidedly not happy. Aside from buying a
new system with two hard-drives running under hardware RAID 1, I'm not really sure what to do. Hence, I've just said
to it, "Re-build and re-compile everything," hoping that any corrupted software would get replaced and the damaged
parts of the hard-drive ignored . . . or something. And my elder sister, Jo, gave birth to child number four today,
or some time this morning. Sounds like there was a healthy flow of visitors. I popped over around about half past
seven, and two more people turned up not long after me. So yeah . . . and then more of the on-going kitchen worktop
madness in the evening. I sanded down one side with some 240-grade sandpaper (but still couldn't get rid of all the
circular stains) and then treated it to some oil of some description. Interestingly, the instructions said that you
know it's time to apply some more oil when water kind of spreads into the wood rather than settling into discrete
droplets (pretty much like Goretex, I guess), which I don't think it's ever done. Clearly this wood was never
sealed/treated properly.
