stupidity and disaster..

[popdrome]

Hi guys,

Last weekend something horrible happened (well to me it's horrible anyway),
and it's completely my own fault.

I left a window open in my study and left the house.
Then storm and rain caused complete waterdamage in the room.

The computer was shut off so I'm even lucky, it could have been worse,
but 2 big HDD's died. They were soaked and I got advice on if there would be
a chance of recovering the data on the drives, but all say it's a 99% chance of everything ruined.

That means (I had a BIG collection, as many of you know), that all movies/vids are gone,
except for a few (300 or so), that were on 2 other drives that didn't get wet.

Needless to say I had no backup, apart from the original dvd's.

So.. that kind of depressed me and still I'm rather sad about it,
especially because it took a few years to build this rare collection.

I feel stupid because I can only blame myself.

So I'm sorry but I will not quickly be as prolific a contributor that I was,
here, and in the newsgroups.

And I hope you'll tolerate my whining and repost requests, as I expect that will happen.

TTFN,
