Murphys Law and Paper Weights

Ξ April 16th, 2006 | → 0 Comments | ∇ |

I don’t know who the hell Murphy is, but I sure as hell want to give him a piece of my mind. All I can say is THANK GOD FOR MIRRORED RAID otherwise I’d be spitting fire. I thankfully still have one, 300gig Maxtor left with ALL my stuff on it since the other decided it didn’t want to work, entirely out the blue this evening. How things can go from “normal normal normal probl-failed” I’ll never know. Not only that, but due to Maxtors fantastically crappy 1 year warrenty, which I’ve just discovered was 54 weeks old, I now have an expensive, rectangular steel paperweight. Hurrah, Hurrah.

The “unprotected” feeling is most unwelcome though. Like standing on a breezy cliff edge, with all my files in plastic bags. How do people live without backups and redundency?
