After being wiped off the face of the internet for about 5 days, it seems I’m back. (I propose Commandment #11: Thou shalt not put your faith in computer servers.) Now my husband on the other hand, has not been so fortunate. His computer crashed about 5 days ago too (yes, not such a good run with computers in our family this last week). He picked it up tonight from being serviced only to find that all his data is gone. Vanished. Not to be recovered.

You know all that stuff people always say about backing up? How you should really do it, like weekly? Yeah, it’s really true.
