holytoastrSo my hard drive died yesterday right after we returned from the computer store. My computer is very inconsiderate.
I had not backed up my computer since before the cruise, so I was upset about potentially losing all those pictures. Well, sorta losing. The raws are all still on my camera, and the ones I nicely cropped are all on flickr, but it would have been a pain to have to download them all back onto my computer later.
Ben did some magic with an ubuntu live cd and is now transferring all the files to the network so we can replace the hard drive. Some of the files aren't making it, probably because the server is barely limping along, but most of what I'm losing are pictures that I uploaded to flickr. So that's not too bad. Five or six pictures instead of a hundred? I can live with that.
To thank him, I made ben a 5 minute chocolate cake drizzled in warm chocolate syrup. :)
In other news, we saw kick-ass today. It was ok. About half the movie was cool action stuff and the other half was embarrassing teenager stuff. If it was just the action, I would have liked it a lot better. I spent a lot of time hiding my face being embarrassed for the characters. When the movie was over, my face hurt from all the blushing. Hit-Girl was cool though. In a creepy way.
