Updated: Never — Philip's Blog

I was reminded today that laptop hard disks really are unreliable. For some reason, my laptop disk just "gave up" earlier today. I have no idea why, but suddenly while I was working, it felt I should be allowed at my data anymore.

This does not please me. At all.

Happily, I have backups of pretty much all my important stuff -- in fact, I don't keep much important stuff on my laptop in the first place. Unhappily, my last backup is a couple of days old and seems to lack some configuration bits.
