Fracksticks!

Kusanagi on a crutch! It turns out I did lose a bunch of important data when my hard drive died a while back 🙁

Most of it I can reconstruct – with some hard work. What’s frustrating is that I’m sure there’s some of it that I can’t remember, which means I can’t reconstruct it, which means it’s lost forever. It’s also personally galling that I didn’t back it up in the first place – I was so certain that I’d backed up everything important, so to miss such a big chunk of data is just humiliating.

Well, I guess it’ll encourage me to be more careful with backups in future 🙁

At least last night’s Hamster Wheel cheered me up somewhat…

    1. It’s well known in the industry that we techie types are terrible at backing up our personal data.

      The fact that I backed up most of my files makes me a strange exception 🙂

    “Cabinet makers with squeaky doors”
    “Lawyers that speak only truth at home”
    “Bankers that… $hit, they should go do something useful or just shoot themselves right now.”
