Backup Required... *Crash*
Friday 07 October 2005 at 6:12 pm
So its been a busy week this week for me, and well a bit of a crappy one too.How to start this.
Well simply there i was playing WoW trying to get to level 46, and WoW crashed! first time thats happened. So i quickly reboot my computer only to discover! FUCK! windows wont boot!.. Normally not a problem but i'd done a lot of work since the backup the thursday before and REALLY REALLY couldnt afford to loose anything.
So i had to resort to using a Knoppix 4 Livecd.. damn me those knoppix livecds get better and better. It ran nice and fast, faster than most installed linux distro's ive seen in the past, and had just about everything besides my own little apps on it. Seriously good, i recommend everyone who works with computers has a knoppix cd in the toolkit.
Anyway, i ordered myself a new Harddrive, just an 80gb as it was just an emergancy measure and got myself a new DVD Writer to speedup the whole backup process.
So im back on track with work, sept a lot of my Database stuff got currupt and i had backups of all of them, except the most recent job i was working on.. which was also the most important. so i've had to work on rebuilding that from memory and the php i had for it.
All this has really reduced the time i've spent playing WoW and im still not level 46 yet as a result.
AND i havnt had time to work on my little webdev tool, which really needs a name better than webdev cos i think webdev is already a program.
Anyway on top of all that, one of my cousin's died and i had to attend the funeral. so that was basically a full day without being able to work, but i wasnt stressed about it because family comes first before work, no matter who its for.
