My hard drive died this week. No, I hadn't been backing things up.
I literally cannot recall everything that I had that's now lost and has to be recreated as best as possible. But here's a partial list (not in any particular order):
- Medical records from the last several years
- Brokerage account records
- A list of accounts with various vendors, services and institutions, complete with passwords (encoded so that only I can interpret them)
- A list of movies that Ethan and I have seen in our weekly film class
- A draft of a newsletter for LIDS
- The membership list for the Jamaica Estates Association
- All the music I spent endless hours ripping from my CD collection.
A lot of the info (not the music files, mind you) are on paper. But, damn, who wants to go through all that paper?
I won't bore with the blow by blow of "well, I was working and then the blue screen came up, so..." Suffice to say it wasn't fun. Yeah... backups from now on.
