| the storm last night / photo by Phil McGrew |
I pick up my computer with its new hard drive. I set up the transfer and we take a walk in the drizzle. I get home, start downloading and updating software, and immediately lightning flashes! We rarely have thunderstorms here. Still, I'm so relieved to have my computer back that I just shut everything down and decide to try again tomorrow.
Not funny: I lost 6 months of data because I unplugged my backup drive when I moved my computer into the other room and neglected to plug my drive back in. Time Machine: Use it or lose it.
Another photo today from Allyn, my editor, of a table in her office. It is odd that we both have this compulsion to pick up glass, is it not?

Dill pickles in your wine?
Sorry about the data. I hate when that happens.....
I use Time Machine (local) and iDrive (remote). I tried many other remote backup services and found it the best and cheapest.
Oh, and I am mesmerized by that photo of the lightning on the GGB.
We turned off the TV and sat staring out the back window during the storm. We don't get a show like that very often here!
Gina, the wafts of cotton candy is what got me.
Thanks for the iDrive clue!
I'm totally mesmerized by that photo of lightning.
Linda, losing data is the sickest feeling, isn't it? Having lost a lot of data once, I learned to back it up, back it up and oh...back it up. I use the Time Machine and I also use other external hard drives.
Wine also. It helps numb that sick feeling after losing data.
cheers, m
Sorry about the backup drive eating 6th months of material. How frustrating.
p.s. I never saw "funkalicious" on a wine bottle before!
So sorry to read about the immense data loss- is it really gone? No way at all of retrieval? Just an incredibly sickening feeling.
Mari and Namo and Sally: Thanks for the sympathy. Another funny thing is that I completely forgot to ask for my old hard drive when I went to pick up my computer with the new hard drive. Of course I called the next day and they found it. So I'll take it somewhere and see ...
