I purchased an external hard drive for my computer, and set up to have everything backed up to it once a day, every day. It seems to be working fine. Hopefully any future problems with my home computer will not lead to a loss of precious data.
So how else can the curse strike? A couple of weeks ago the primary hard drive in my workstation at the office died! They put in a new drive, but were unable to recover anything from the dead drive. Oh well - this is a major company. They make backups.
The backup was unrecoverable. Something about an encryption that got fucked up. I'm like, what kind of million to one chance is this?! Just who in the netherworld did I piss off that much?
Luckily - and I say this through gritted teeth - I had just taken that business trip overseas in September. For which I took a laptop on which I had copied a lot of material from the workstation. Which I was able to copy back from the laptop. So there was a lot of important stuff which I didn't lose. On the other hand, there was a lot of vital data which I did lose - including all information on some research projects into which I'd put a fair bit of work.
So things at the office have been - let's say a little hectic. For want of more expletive laden language. And naturally my health took a downturn under the stress.

In other news, I did some more work on the current chapter of Greenery Day last night. Hopefully, barring any other distractions, I'll finish it sometime soon. At the moment, Ranma's getting a shave.
Dude, you're probably the most unlucky guy I ever hear about. Seriously.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait till your update,
btw good to see you back!
I'm having right now computer issues as well. There's certainly nothing as much frustrating as computer problems... And it was supposed to simplify everything, well, it may have, but we also got a bunch of new problems with them...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad to read from you and I hope your computer issues are over. And I'm delight to read you are going to grant us soon a new chapter of Greenery Day! Thx, I can't wait to read it.
Cheers
Shave? Sounds cool. I bet it's gonna be Nabiki's job.
