And He That Sat On Him Had A Bow

Those who know me well know my end-times obsession, or rather, my end-times obsession obsession.  (That is to say, I'm obsessed with those who are obsessed with the idea of the end of the world.  Why else do you think I track the Rapture Index?)

Which, of course, meant I was extremely pleased with this letter to the editor that appeared in the Gleaner.  So there's not much end-times in there, but there's a bit.

I have to say, this is the most interest I've gotten out a non-classifieds ad in the Gleaner in ages.

In other news, I'm still having computer problems.  Every now and then I just lose all network connectivity on the server and have to restart the interface.

Computer-Related Plea

I've been having trouble with this web-server as of late.  I had a few heat-related issues that locked up the machine a few times.

Unfortunately, I think it may also have resulted in some filesystem corruption — I just don't know where.  (fdisk claims everything's fine, yet certain files complain that they're missing information that was there previously.)

If anyone knows of a way to force Debian to re-download and install all currently installed packages, I'd greatly appreciate it.  (It's either that or try and tar up all my files and re-install.)
