Figured out the avatars – you have to be using gravatar.com I think.

Trying out the “P2″ theme, which makes WordPress look not unlike Twitter. Maybe I’ll post more. Hm, if I had a plugin for ping.fm, I definitely would post here more..
In the course of doing this, I had to upgrade to WordPress 2.7.1, which was a big no-brainer..

Success! ASUS A7N8X + terabyte hard drive

Tnir, my household Linux box, has been down for a couple of weeks now.
I hit a bit of a roadblock when the motherboard erfused to recognize a new hard drive I had bought.
It was too big — 1 TB (which is 1000 GB, or perhaps 1024 if you’re a programmer, or 999 if you’re a sales droid).
So I did my usual check for a new BIOS, which would normally fix things.
There was a moderately new BIOS, only a few months younger than the one I had, but installing it had no effect.
Still no drive.
After googling around I ran across
an article
that laid out all the steps I had to take, which included creating my own BIOS. Egad.
That scared me a bit, so I put it off for a while.
But today I tried again, and realized that the BIOS is really like a zip file, with a bunch of other little files in it, and I was just replacing the (SATA) disk part with a new version.
And sure ernough, I got my new drive listed, with 938 GB (damn those marketing droids!)
