Hi everybody,

This doesn't seem to be my week. When I wanted to boot my Gentoo system 
this morning, Grub wouldn't load. I discovered pretty fast that I am 
experiencing a hard drive failure. My Samsung SP1604N quit on me. It's a 
total loss. I could boot with Knoppix which recognised three of the 
seven partitions and I could recover about 2GB of a total of 160GB. I 
don't know what knocked it out, maybe a dying fan and death by cruelsome 
heat.

I'm afraid I can't keep the schedule and today's GLPV announcement will 
have to wait until I have recovered from the system loss. It will be 
some time until I have set up another system, hopefully with Gentoo. I 
hope you can forgive me this inconvenience ;-)

By the way, I lost most of my mails too. If you sent me anything 
important please send it again, since I will probably not be able to 
recover it. I had been in the process of setting up an IMAP server on a 
different machine but mails to tobias@... were retrieved from 
my ISP's pop server directly until today :-(

Consider my GnuPG key void since I'm not sure I can recover it. Maybe 
it's among the stuff I recovered, maybe it isn't. I'll create a new one 
anyway.

regards,
Tobias W.
