I have now learned, the bad way, that it is essential you backup your computer. My ram died on my computer, so my mum took it to her work to get it fixed. It came home working no problems. Stupid me decided I’d like to upgrade to Windows XP, from Windows 2000 which was working perfectly fine. Something happened during the upgrade and I have now lost everything from my hard drive. I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to happen that way? It’s so damn frustrating! I now need to start from scratch, which isn’t always a bad thing, but I’ve lost all my photo’s that I haven’t added to Flickr (which is only a few, luckily) and all my music files. Rob had uploaded all his CDs to iTunes, they have all now been wiped. And of course you’ll remember that our cars got broken into earlier this year, so he no longer has any of them.
I am also having an issue with my sound, it either can’t find my sound card or the device is not working. I have no idea why. I may have to take it to my computer man.

This site, Online Backup, allows you to backup all your blog entries on their site for free! You can also upgrade to a paid account giving you more space. I think this is a great idea. Imagine losing a year or two of personal blog entries? It’s happened to me before!! It’s devastating.
You can also store photo’s and media files - sounds perfect for me! I’m going to join up and check it out!
