Rebuilding
I’ve lost tons of work in the past in almost every way imaginable, from melted or crushed hard disks to raid failures and unreliable hosts. I thought redundancy would save me, but these failures always seem to happen in pairs. I could fill a graveyard with all the work I’ve lost.
But I’m not gonig to let this get me down. I can still remember how I made most of those old things, and some of them were pretty good simple ideas, so it might be fun to re-make them better stronger faster than before!
In the future, I’ll use reliable backup sites like github, amazon s3, and I’ll look into Mozy. Their commercial is spot on, after all. Fortunately, not all of my data is gone. A good hunk of it survived on my 120GB WD Passport, which includes things as far back as 2005. I better back this up before I lose it!
