Along The Way (17/May/2006)

Wednesday... and I'm feeling blue. Yes, the sun is out today and that is good, but the storm clouds of my own stupidity have sewn me in. You may recall that a couple of months ago my hard drive was dying. You may also recall how thrilled I was that Dell sent me a new hard drive. What you probably don't know is that before I installed the new one, the old one came back to life, so I never did do the repair. Well, guess what?

Yup! 5pm yesterday my hard drive went to hard drive heaven (metaphorically, not literally... in fact, I think it really went to...). The bad news continues. The writing project that I've been working on all month - gone. Before you ask - no, I wasn't bright enough to have backed it up.

So, a team of computer gurus have been swarming over the carcass. It started with Germaine... then went to Jim... then back to Germaine... then on to Gaby... now it's on its way back to Jim. All of these fine folks have waded into the deep water of my inaptitude trying to rescue me (gospel like, huh?). Say a prayer for me. Then slap me the next time you see me.

Does Jesus heal hard drives?
