Update on the casting of the HHGG movie!

Actually I never posted the original information, but here's what we know so far

Arthur - Martin Freeman
Slartibartfast - Bill Nighy
Zaphod - we don't know yet
Ford - rapper Mos Def (yes, really)
Trillian - Zooey Deschanel
Marvin - we don't know, but rumor has it that they've got Stephen Moore

Now, what else did I want to write? I was quite certain there was something else I wanted to write before this came up.

Ah yes. I was originally going to title this entry "Yum, disk space", but that was because I didn't know about the HHGG partial cast list at the time.

You know you've got a problem when you type 'df' and you find that the amount of space you have left is 0.

Actually I'm wondering how that happened. Last time that it got down to 1.5 MB, kmail stopped working. This time it didn't, though. Huh.

Anyway, what with having the laptop with its 60 GB HD, and knowing that I'm never going to use Windows on this computer again (that reminds me, I still have to reinstall all my old Windows games on the laptop), I copied all 9 GB of my Windows partition over to a folder on my laptop. Then I got out that good old rescue disk, opened up parted, deleted partition 1 (the Windows partition), moved partition 3 to begin where partition 1 had begun (not quite the beginning of the disk; I don't know what was before it, but I figured it probably wouldn't be a good idea to overwrite it. Probably the boot sector or something), resized it to take up *all* the newly available space, and finally removed all references to /dev/hda1 from /etc/fstab and lilo.conf. Windows on this computer is gone, gone, gone. And now I have 12 GB free on my - well, my *only* - partition (save for swap).

Yum. Disk space.
