I woke up this morning and my computer wouldn’t boot. This is very bad. I don’t know when I’ll have a chance to take it apart and diagnose the problem, but my gut tells me it’s either a failed hard disk or a zorched motherboard. Looks like I’ll have to do all my personal computing from work for the discernible future.

Public service announcement:
Back up your data RIGHT NOW!!!

Update: after leaving it alone all day, I returned home and she fired up just fine. And then she wouldn’t power down properly. I have no idea what’s going on. I’m using her just fine right now but I’m walking on egg shells. At least I was able to back up all my photos!
