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…
Hmmm, ironic….What do they say “doctors make the worst patients…”?. 🙂
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 🙂
“Plumbers with leaky taps in their house”
“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.”
🙂 everyone does or doesn’t do it..
Me to client…”have you done a full back up, in case we cant recover the database files…?
A…Of course i have…don’t patronise me, i know what i’m doing…
Hmmm. Whats the last time/ datestamp say?..
Ahhhh,…..(long pause) dont do anything, i’ll call you back soon…
Hmmm…ok. Click.
