Spelunk
Things seem to be running smoothly now.
The parts-bin box fell over under the strain of getting hit with a million files, so I decided to instead make tarballs* of the main directories and copy those across. While doing this I found about 60GB of triplicated files - that is, I had copies of those files elsewhere on disk and also backed up to DVD. So I zapped them. That's 60GB less to copy, anyway. While the files trundle across the network, I'm continuing to burn backup DVDs - now up to number 124. And wishing I had one of those fancy 8x burners. It takes fifteen minutes to burn 4.5GB! And another fifteen minutes to verify! The horror! * Like zip files.

What next? Steak knives? How about rocks?
Did you know a well sharpened pencil is deadly! Do you ban the pencils or the sharpeners, or do you mandate rules about sharpeners that require they only produce dull tips on the pencils?
I have a better idea. Make a law that bans idiot nanny-state politicians. Odds are, you'll end up with no one in office. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
