Death of a harddisk

Today one of our servers in the office told us that he could not spin up the second harddisk. After replacing the faulty disk everything went on smoothly.

Because of natural curiosity I opened the faulty drive and discovered why it would not spin anymore.

The pictures speak for themselves.

For all who are interested: this was a 18GB U3-SCSI Seagate harddisk, model ST318305LC, Lot No. A-01-0216-3, F/W 2203.

The harddisk served fine for about five or six years.

Pornophonique

You remember Pornophonique? You sure do.

About one month their new album was released, so just grab it for 12€ at their homepage – just click on the picture below to get there. You’ll get a nice, vinyl-stlye-CD (embossed on front, the back is black like an old Playstation-CD… remember?) in a white, windowed tin box. For every song you’ll find an own cover, made by some great artists like Joscha Sauer or Naomi Fearn.

Here’s what it looks like:

If you really think, you can live without these covers, boxes and CDs you just can download the whole album here for free. No popups or catches, just free music.

Hope you’ll have a great time with this.
