HD Crash
Man, everything was going well with the launch of Clear5 and the site redesign of Acne-Vitamins, and then out of the blue my hard drive crashed this morning. This was for my laptop that I happen to do most of the graphics work for the site on, so it’s quite a bummer. Luckily this happened after the new graphics got uploaded and not before.
Since then, I’ve been meticulously backing up everything to make sure no such catastrophes happen again, and you can bet I’ll be investing in an external hard drive once I get my laptop fixed. Funny how a single faulty piece of hardware can make your stress level go through the roof. Time to take some extra vitamin B5 (it is called the anti-stress vitamin, after all).
Much of today has been spent on the phone with Dell (on hold for an hour), figuring out what exactly went wrong and how I need to fix it. One of the service guys at Best Buy has told me that they may be able to back up the data on my damaged hard drive, and that would really save me a heck of a lot of trouble. Business shouldn’t be affected (at least not in any major ways), so no worries there. On a positive note, I’ve got some more great feedback to add to my testimony page in the next (overdue, I know) acne testimony update.
