backups.

I am one of those morons who actually HAS lost a book due to a computer meltdown. But, on the bright side, it was a REALLY BAD BOOK, and I can't guarantee that it wasn't the reason the hard drive died. Bad fiction has that effect on digital media, y'know.

(It was eight years ago, Apple Powerbook, and the reason I never bought Apple again.)

So my elaborate backup system involves mailing copies to other computers I regularly use, and online directories (off the web root, of course) where I keep zips of my fiction. And on that note, I wrote several pages this evening. A shame I have to be up in...six hours. To go to work. URGH.

I like using words like "thuja".
