my sad computer

[capnzebbie]

On Friday, my computer popped up a message that my hard drive might be crashing so I better back everything up. It's already all backed up except for my music, so I immediately started uploading to amazon's cloud. It's been uploading pretty much straight since Friday night, and the time finally got below >99 hours, so Yay! I'm going to keep uploading until it finishes or the hard drive crashes, and then I'll take it in to see if the hard drive needs to be replaced. I just didn't want to lose all my music after I spent about two weeks ripping all my cds so I could put them in storage.

I don't know if it's a virus or really a hard drive problem. I'll find out soon. Wish me luck!

Wow, I hope it doesn't crash but is some glitchy thing instead. I once lost a whole lot of really important files (ahem -- "lost" is a euphemism for accidentally deleted my own hard drive). It was awful. There was no cloud in those days!

Oh wow, the most I've ever accidentally deleted is one document! I've lost everything twice, though, from hardware or software problems.

I have two external hard drives with stuff backed up, but I'm a belt and suspenders kind of gal, especially with my music.

That's cool. We don't have a cloud service for music yet, I believe. (We have to WAIT for f*cking EVERYTHING, sometimes for years)
