reluctantly starting fresh
sigh. my hard drive bit the dust, and of course I never got around to doing “real” backups. I have random files on random disks in random places, but i’ve lost a lot of stuff. i do still have all my mp3s and contacts from my iPod but the guy at the mac store erased all my photos (albeit just thumbnails) when he thought he was uploading them.
oh well.
since i’m starting with a brand new hard drive and essentially no data files, i thought it would be a good opportunity for some new approaches. for example, i opened a del.icio.us account for better bookmark management. i’m also thinking about some modified approaches to file organization. if anyone has any fun ideas for me to incorporate into a new sleeker data management system, i’m all ears.
