Blog Update

I've gotten an initial diagnosis from my tech sergeant on the main machine -and it doesn't look good. His opinion is that the thing is shot and a total write-off. For the sake of what little sanity I have left I *hope* it's not as bad as that, but he's way ahead of me in dealing with the infernal contraptions so I'm not counting on it. Still, there's a ton of stuff on there, much of it blog-related, that I would *really* hate to lose so as soon as I can get to a city I will be letting the experts take a look at it (keep in mind I'm at least 50 miles from the nearest thing that could be called a city) on the slim hope that I can at least salvage some of the info saved on the dang thing. Nonetheless, until such time as it is repaired or replaced I shall try to carry on, best I can, on this back-up piece of junk to keep the blog up and running. One of the things that has been most frustrating is that I am just now getting in alot of new materials I had hoped to use on future posts and blog projects -which is of course just after the machine crapped out on me. So, that's the situation and again, I appreciate everyone for their patience at this time when things are not exactly firing on all cylinders. I hope to be able to continue, I am determined to carry on and I remain ... The Mad Monarchist.

  1. The lesson is well learned, I would hope - back up frequently. I've been having some troubles with my computer, and I've stuffed all that I would hate to lose (largely because I couldn't really replace it easily) onto an external hard drive. Believe me, for the money I spent, it's well worth the security (just make sure you don't leave it on. Otherwise, it dies with the warranty, or so I hear).

    But i wonder is there no function wher ei can get a E-mail when new posts arrives. I do not wish to miss any post, but sometimes one is absent :) Newsletter or something perhaps ? In any case, keep up the great work.

  4. Try using Carbonite also- I have an external hard drive and Carbonite just to ensure that I lose nothing! The former automatically backsup your hardrive offline, with minimal cost

  5. Were I flexible enough I'd kick my own butt for not doing that already. I'd heard of the service, thought that sounded like a smart thing to do but just never got around to really looking in to it. Now of course I'm wishing I had.
