Wonderful news: My hard disk died. Most recent backup: 3 months old. Why did it die? Ironically, I bought a new disk to be on the safe side, put it in my pc, connect all the cables – Computer runs up, crashes – old hard disk is dead. Of course, there is officially no connection between putting in a new hard disk and the death of the other, but it seems like a strange coincidence. I could beat myself up for not backing up more frequently, but there are always other things that seem more important at the time.

So it’s basically my world cup series (the hi res) and some other projects that I’ve been working on that’s lost, maybe a total of 30 GB, I’ll have to see whether I can afford data recovery.

Anyways, I’ll snap some mo’ world cup pictures tonight, I’m just not sure where I will do the post (laptop screen is really not made for that).
