Why do I keep doing this?
Feb. 19th, 2008 07:37 pmI have a USB key that I keep all of my writing on. I've had hard drives crash and lost games and writing, so I figured the USB key was safer. And it was. It's just... I've had it for at least 4 years, and I'd been thinking about backing it up. As soon as I start thinking about it, it's too late.
And it's too late.
I got copies of everything I've posted on
tamingthemuse and the stuff I'd posted on
open_on_sunday this year, and I have most of last year's drabbles from open on sunday (nothing after July though, and I'm too lazy to look for them right now). I have most of the finished stuff on my laptop, so in terms of writing it's not too bad. I'm sure I'll remember more stuff as the evening progresses though.
What tics me off is losing the free X-stitch patterns I'd downloaded, some of which were limited time offers. Oh well, that's just a sign to do more knitting. ;)
And now I'm going to back up my laptop hard drive and start online shopping for USB keys. Oh, and burn all my photos to disk (thank god that's not what died!)
