I saw Evanescence and Seether at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre last night. Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin opened. I'd definitely recommend that if you get a chance, you go see Evanescence, the show they put on rocked. I was impressed. If you've never heard of them, crawl out from under that rock, and visit their site. :-)

The only band of the 4 that sucked was Breaking Benjamin, not so much because I don't like the band's music, but because they had really poor sound (it was just plain too loud and almost distorted, etc.) but they were on first, so, they were gone quickly (yay!). The other 3 bands that followed more than made up for it :-)

Well. heh. the last few days have been fun. really. The server here, tazdevil, decided that Sunday night after a Thunderstorm would be a great time to have a hard disk drive failure. I don't believe the storm was the cause though. Either way the 80gb drive that the machine runs decided to corrupt two partitions. One of which was the partition that contains my webdevelopment and website work. urgh.
After 19 hours with Spinrite 6 running on the partition, (at level 2), and Windows' chkdsk utility reparing the NTFS file table, the partition was almost fully recovered. (and the part that wasn't there was a backup of, yay.). The drive wouldn't let WinXP reinstall though, because of the bad sectors, ick.

So, yay for me, heh. Luckly the drive is still in warranty, and gets to be replaced, (waiting for the replacement drive to be shipped now, Advanced RMAs, yeah!), so while it's out, now i'm down to a 20gb disk. heh. Till Maxtor gets around to sending the other one. heh.

Well, this has to be the weirdest bug I've been apart of. It's Bug 249787 which is about update.mozilla.org not being browsable in Internet Explorer. Strangely enough though, it's a blocking-aviary1.0RC1+ bug.. Go figure. Guess I can't say I have no blocking bugs anymore.
