Finally...

that's all I have, sadly.

Didn't you lose an earlier collection of stuff, as well? I remember asking you if you had any of my old posts shortly after my drive went kaput.

When was that? I lost a lot of stuff a couple years ago but prettymuch all of it was able to be recovered eventually. If only I could be that lucky all of the time.

[The Man]

probably about nine months ago. I'm not on my own computer right now, but if you've found any of the lengthy character essays or whatnot that I posted back before eoff got prrrrrrrrrruned, then I wouldn't mind having them back tomorrow or something. xD

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I think that was more of a case of my never having saved any of that stuff in the first place.

that's all I have, sadly.

Thanks. It's actually pre-crisis, but it's the thought that counts.

[eestlinc]

yea, that's and oldbie. before crisis, if you will.

I'm pretty sure I remembered you saying you had a "The Man" folder a couple years ago, but I guess that was just a couple years ago. xD

[Raistlin]

I've lost pretty much everything from pre-2002. All the old ICQ chats, mostly. I didn't and still don't save many pictures/threads/whatever from the forums. I used to rely on Bleys to post that old crap, and now I just rely on Kishi.

Let that be a moral lesson: there's always someone else who will do the hard work for you.

I do have a The Man folder, but it's mostly filled with images of your goofy hairdo.

[The Man]

ah, touché.

If your hard drive dies (read: dies, not "you accidentally formatted it" or "pulled out the IDE cable while the computron was running" ) put it in the freezer for a couple of hours, and odds are it will be fine long enough to recover a fair bit of data from.

[rubah]

I had to get my harddrive replaced on this in 2002 when it stopped copying, but it's been quiet since, with only two formattings.

Now, my old computer was another story. It stopped working frequently and would make creepy whirring ghost noises. However, odds were that after you shook it vigorously, it would begin to work again.

yeah ...

search engines are cool like that

Never had any failures. I had to wipe my HD once and lost a very important RM2k project, because I was too stupid to back it up, but s'okay.

I realize that I've also lost all of my logs over the years, and have nothing from before 2004 probably, but I don't go through reading that stuff all too often so it's no biggie.
