Lindsay on Probation
Major bummer last night.
Just a simple manipulation the name of my "home directory" of my documents in Lindsay, in the quest of changing what is known as my "short name." You see, the "initials" of the short name there are not mine because someone else's was placed there before I got my hands on her.
And that was it. 30 gigs of documents, music, downloads and pictures... gone. I have back ups of the documents in my other computers and my flash disk(s). The music and all of the pictures, however, are gone. The only copy I have of the are found in my iPod and I have not figured out how to fish them out of there back to Lindsay without erasing my iPod.
They say trust is like a cystal glass. One broken, could never be repaired. So Lindsay is on probation now and my iPod is now way going near her for now. Hope my iPod does not break down that it would need reconnection.
In fairness to her, it was my fault and Lindsay did not crash on me. On the other hand, loosing your files should not be as easy as that. But then again, that attempt was more of a vanity thing... so it was, again, really my fault.
But then again (again...), I'm enjoying the 30Gigs that incident freed up. Lindsay seems to be breathing better...
