[sociate] Two disk crashes later...

Woo-hoo! My online life was severely disrupted over the past month by two
hard-drive crashes.

The first was clearly a dying hard drive. IBM technicians managed to rescue
my data by copying the drive to a new one before it gave up the ghost. Five
days later: second crash, only worse. No limping drive. Of course, no recent
backup. All my backup gear is scattered around the globe. Technicians at
Bedford Micro, a San Francisco sales and repair place that Zack Lynch
recommended, worked their magic and recovered my data the second time. Still
a mystery why it happened. No signs of a virus, no evidence of hardware
failure.

Oh, well. It's good to be back. I guess I could've blogged and such without
my PC, given how Blogger works, but when your flow is disrupted... you know
what I mean? Instead, I chewed through pads of quadrille paper. Now I'm
transfering those notes online.
