This. Is. Not. Good. :o(

While I freely admit I am the maker of much of my own troubles, I don't think anyone can accuse me of being responsible for my laptop's hard drive crashing in spectacular style tonight. Now I have one very dead 'pooter with all of my work, music, e-mails, to-dos, projects, and assorted other vitally important work information on, and no way of getting to it unless I can find £500 down the back of the sofa.

Bugger.

Since I'm venting, I'd just like to extend my sincere thanks to Apple for their Time Machine backup software, which has been so completely useless in backing up my personal data - after it decided it couldn't back up my information due to an "Unknown error" - that I've now built it a shrine in my bedroom and called it Steve. Bloody cheers...

Still, on the plus side, I should get a lie in tomorrow (touch wood) :o)

Oh my god!!! (or rather, my non-denominational higher-being), I've never heard such a story of a Mac screwing up so badly! I remember when I was in the office yesterday and you said it had crashed, which shocked me enough, but to hear this !? - maybe it's the start of the end of the world!

Only problem is, the drive is made by Fujitsu-Siemens, not Apple :P

about me

"Grumpy, geeky old grey-head"

'Ello! I'm Alex, and I'm one of the mysterious and slightly-shady figures know as "Sabbatical Officers" - my job title is something like Media Whore, and I divide my time equally between upsetting students, annoying staff members, tweaking the UPSU.net web ... (read more).
