Crash
Recently I’ve been searching for a more robust backup/redundancy system for my data. Too late - my main external drive crashed last night. I’m currently trying to recover as much as possible. Ack. This is right after I shut down hockeyfights.com for a few hours yesterday tinkering with the server.
“Bad computer day”.
However, the freaking out has led to a crash course and kick in the pants for backup solutions (the Thecus N5200 is currently in my sights). If I can recover some data, have it stay stable for a week (not too much to ask, right?) then I should be set, or so I think.
Update Aug 8 1130am: I have recovered most files from my dead-ish hard drive. Suddenly everything seems better

You Never Learn
If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times - avoid deck chairs when you have shrinkage.
His testicles had shrunk while in the cool sea and slipped through the wooden slats when he sat back down on his wooden deckchair.
But as he lay in the sun they expanded back to normal size and got stuck between the slats.
Now go find some shorts and watch where you sit.
