Stand-by

Just an FYI...

My external hard drive crashed - the one with all my music & my editing program on it! So...Ian Rankin's interview won't be available until late this week. Gotta wait for the new hard drive to arrive, then try to rescue all the stuff off the crashed drive. Blah, blah, techie badness, blah. Fingers crossed the transfer from dying drive to brand-spanking new drive goes off without a hitch-a-rootie.
