The above verse reads: "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." (ESV) Well, I wish that meant that nothing ever goes wrong for Christians, but unfortunately it's not that simple :) A couple of things have gone wrong so far today.

Firstly our home server (Evey), who hosts this website, developed noisy-fan syndrome. Since she sits right next to me in our office when I'm working from home, this got rather frustrating and in the end I gave up hoping it would fix itself, shut her down, and gave her a good clean. She's purring like a kitten now, but I tell you that I'm frustrated, because I was working toward a record uptime. She was at 69 days, 22 hours, 47 minutes when I shut her down. I'm going to have to wait another 3½ months for 100 days now :( Not a life-shattering event though.

The really gutting thing is that when I went to an outside window to blow a cloud of dust out of the heatsink, the following sight met my eyes:

My poor car! She's an old and cronky Micra, but she's belonged to at least 4 members of my family so far and is still in amazing condition, and I still think she's nicer to drive than Sophie's Corsa. On closer inspection:

Grr. I can't understand why people do things like that. Anyway, I better get in touch with RAC & Autoglass and see what they quote.
