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.

Hi, good news! Some new pages on this site are photos that are finally getting uploaded (I can hear cheers from the bleacher seats). For those who don’t know, I’m back in the US for a couple months of R&R before returning to Istanbul after Thanksgiving. More than just R&R, this has been an opportunity to catch up on a lot of loose ends that were just left dangling for about eight months because I was too busy working to tend to them.

Current Read: Time and Again, by Jack Finney. A man from modern day New York is sent back to New York of 1882. Will he want to return to the 20th century?
