Silver lining

Turns out I did manage to transfer a lot of my files to my hard drive at home. All the Deadlands stuff, my old Mage notes, and a majority of the drive I did save before it went belly up. About the only reall casualties are my army rosters, and a few rules PDFs that I should be able to find again, somewhere.

That's a big relief. The big sushi dinner I ate also helped fix things immeasurably.

The important stuff (my own projects) are safe. The rest is just a matter of tracking down.

Even IT guys need to remember to back up their data!

I had my computer crash 2 times and each time it wiped out all my artwork that was on it, talk about being livid, dude I was off the wall pissed but thankfully some of the artwork I had saved in a private online image area so I got most of it back. And I had to contact past art clients to see if they would send me pics of what they had, just so I could get everything or most of everything back. Unfortunately some are lost for good. *Sigh*

Is there a way you could save that stuff on like PhotoBucket or some site similar to that? Something that can keep it safe with a password and all that if you don't want people seeing it?

I could do something like that. Most likely what I'll do is burn all the info to CD or DVD, and update it every few months or so. Hopefully I still have a bunch of my photos at home...

wait, you work in IT, and you don't religiously back everything up? what is with this "do as i say, not as i do" shit?

says the boy that has yet to run a full back up of his server that has ALL his worldly files, and should have learned by now thanks to the loss of everything ~3 years ago...

Who knew that I had such an electrifying personality?

Shocking, I know.
