Daley Ponderings

I just discovered another nifty feature of the Google search engine. You can paste in UPS and USPS tracking numbers, and will automatically provide you a link to the appropriate site, so you can track your package.
For those who are curious, the reason why I happened to see that is I just ordered a 2.5" hard drive and a USB to IDE converter box in order to make backups of my computer. I have finally gotten around to getting a system together, since one of our hard drives spontaneously powered down two days ago. It quickly recovered, and there weren't any error messages in the log, but presumably it is on its way out.
I couldn't tell which hard drive it was, I suppose hopefully it would be the one we bought this year, so then we could return it.
