My Notebook is in ICU! :(
by AJ on December 13, 2005
2 days after my video card at my home PC crapped out, my notebook’s hdd crashed! I’m really having a good week now. What else can go wrong!? :(
SOME IMPORTANT STUFF THAT I LOST:
- IM messages archive
- emails/ms outlook rules and filters
- files, YEAH LOTS OF EM!
- photos
- mp3s :’( waaaa!
- high-def quicktime videos :’( waaaaaa!!
- psd files
- ai files
- fla files
- html/php/asp/css/js files
- pc settings/preference
- auto forms/usernames/passwords stored in roboform! :(
- games and settings :P
- anti-virus and definitions
- gmail/msn/yahoo desktop index huge one! need to reindex again!
- ftp/sftp/scp – username/password/path info, waaaaa!!!
You know what else? I just got home and tadaaaa! I don’t know my PLDT DSL username and password! I have to go down to buy an Internet Prepaid Card. I know I have that in my Gmail somehow (Coz I’ve got tons of complaint emails to PLDT for their poor service) archived!
It’s also ironic, coz I work for UDEKO, a backup/archiving stealth startup!!! I don’t even have a backup of my own music and videos and all! :( Crap!!! :O
Oh well, time to restore everything from scratch! It really sucks!!! :(
