motivation

[cellio]

There is nothing quite like a new mysterious sound from the computer tower to prompt the thought "are you satisfied with your most recent backup?".

(I'm actually reasonably good about backups of the data partition to the external hard drive. I'm lousy about off-site backups, though, in part because it requires actual interactive effort to partition things into CD-sized chunks.)

I think, all things considered, that my current computer has turned out to be a bit of a lemon. Bummer.
