Your Hard Drive Will Fail

This just in from GLi ....

the drive went out to Gillware Inc in Madison yesterday 1300 - 1600
buckaroos to get the data off and of course had to buy another drive
to put it on (200) plus 50 to ship the dead one - Lesson: Assume all
hard drives WILL fail.
Develop a very regular back up strategy.
Assume that the backup strategy has more importance and higher
priority than the work itself.

Of course I thought I knew that and had a good strategy.
But my strategy failed for the most recent (important active files)
work.
I attribute the strategy failure to my being more involved in the
work than the backups.

Hear my loud voice - YOUR HARD DRIVES WILL FAIL

Back up often

All the recent electrical storms required many power-downs. Many (too
many) occurred during normally scheduled backups. When I powered up
to get back to work the backup program would tell me that I needed to
readjust things; but "I" had to get right to work figuring that the
next scheduled back up would catch it all up.

Learn from my hard won lessons.

Wish or List

I was just updating my Blogger Profile.
There's a box to check. It says Wish List.

I click it and it takes me to a page
that's all about SHOPPING.

Now I have to make ... choices ... about shopping.

My wish is NOT SHOPPING.

As you can see .. it's only one item.

Shopping or not, I don't think that constitutes a list.

Posts

I've set up another blog at knewsreview.blogspot.com
and will be moving in there soon.

Nothing there at this moment but a big vacant lot.

But, now, I have all my blogs under one sign-in address.

Yaay. Just the right amount.

Stop in and say hello.

Calendars

We have a hard time using the fridge or any other stationery device
to host a calendar.

So, now in the last couple weeks we've been combining our information
on Google calendars.

I think we might have six or seven of them so far.

Just the right amount.

Skype

I had a chance to start skyping on a small scale in early March of '08.

I am not a power user - at least not yet.

So far I like it a lot. I've not used the video
but the voice and chat have been fun and useful.

You can be in touch at < your message doctor > ..
actually I think the address is yourmessagedoctor

Say hello.
