Booo.

Oh oh oh, now this is funny... You know how I got a new less used motherboard, last November/December? With it I also got Dad's hard disk as well. Which crashed a few days ago. And needs to be formatted.

Aren't we all glad I never got around to move my stuff from my own old hd to the newer one?

The loss has really been minimum. I haven't lost all of the new hd even, just about half of it. (Partitions. It is a single hd, but it shows up as C:/ and D:/. C's the one formatted.) In D I had begun to move a few things, while in C I only had what I'd collected most recently, since the motherboard switch. I think. Oh, I keep finding myself cringing every now and then, as in my mind appear phrases like "oh, that had been in there", and "oh dear, that as well!", and "That too? It was there, wasn't it?", etcetera etcetera. It's annoying, mind you (do not talk to me about Mrs Cake* Torchwood), but oh, it could have been SO much worse. All in all, I've been lucky. For a given value of lucky, anyway.



ON THE OTHER HAND, thank you for the valentines! :D I've read them all - and I would say I'm planning something, but I always am, ain't I? (Please be charitable and don't mention how many of them I actually finish. But.) Thank you thank you thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥

Ouch! I've had that happen to me a few times, lost everything I hadn't had on external memory, which was most of it really some of the stuff had been like really personal too. :(

Do not ask about Mrs Cake either.

Awwwwwww! You got the joke! :D (Sorry. I'm still at my early stages in that fandom, so I will squeal at the slightest mention of DW. Sorry about that. ;P) I've just listened (again) to the Going Postal audiobook, I couldn't resist. :)

Oh dear! That does sound awful, doesn't it. D: I've been lucky a few times, but I really, really need to get in the shape of mind of making backup copies regularly. :(

I'm a Discworld junkie, I've got all the books besides the newest and a few of the art books because I'm just that big of a geek.

"You can't fool an honest man" which is much quoted by people who make a profitable living by fooling honest men."

You usually learn things the hard way, I know that I did. I hope you can get most of your stuff back even if you can't get everything.

:D :D :D I haven't yet. I started reading the series when I found a copy of Going Postal in the local bookshop, then I found Thud - then thankfully a bigger one opened, and with a wider section, and now I'm trying to catch up on all of it. ;P It's taking time, though ^^;

Oh that line! Oh, how I love it! Oh, how I love Moist. Seriously. I adore that man.

And when I was reading (well, listening to) Men at Arms, I found myself awwwing at Carrot and Angua a lot more than I thought I would. :D (Gaspode was brilliant.)

I'm a complete maniac about collection once I get started and Discworld is just too awesome in every way. I'm a big fan of the Watch series (Vimes and Havelock just rule so much) and the Death ones in particular, though I do love Moist books and Monstrous Regiment.

Gods, I had to have been about 10 at most when I read the first book, my brother had them... can't even remember which one it was, perhaps Pyramids.
