Would You Like Flies With That?



Un-frog-etable: Frogger kept toddler amused for 30 whole minutes.

A Post NOT About BlogHer

And not because I'm sick of reading them, just because it appears I was one of 17 people that didn't attend.

Stanley lives!

Our hard drive was completely lost and odds of all odds, our backup external drive failed when trying to restore the latest backup. The odds of that happening are 9.8 frazillion to 1. We eventually restored from 4 month old DVDs (a backup of the backup of the data).

Got that? Win the lottery, nope. Have 2 hard drives fail in 2 days, yes.

Hokay.


The only shot I took this weekend was of these flowers begging me to water them. The rest of my time has been spent loading software, sulking and generally cursing out Windows Vista Shitsa. What I wouldn't do for a Mac right about now.


I'll visit you as soon as I get un-buried from CD's. Until then, please go backup your data again.

O Stanley, Where Art Thou?

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek


My laptop (whom I affectionately called Stanley), age 1, suffered a sudden cardiac arrest on Wednesday and died. Stanley left behind myself and a disconnected iPod, both of whom aren't sure what to do with themselves. In lieu of a service, comments will be accepted.

I'm told by Customer Service he'll be fixed sometime between now and never.

I'm sneaking time on Sam's work laptop until we re-unite. Internets, listen to me, go backup your data. Now. And frequently afterwards. Our last backup is 2 months old. I can't think about the. files. that. might. be. lost.

Major suckage.

This is the last photo I uploaded prior to Stanley's death. It's not cropped, it's not great, but it IS my favorite little guy's first parade which had him completely mesmerized and silent for an entire 90 minutes.
