W00T!

Lets hear it for Paranoia! It seems that before I entrusted my Large Backup Drive to an emulated windows running under Linux, I backed up the files that I would most hate to lose, and this includes all of the music files that were wiped out a couple weeks later!

I'm still going to attempt to recover some other files that appear to have been lost in the data disaster, but its now looking like I haven't lost anything too critical. Yay me!

Which causes me to ask: when was the last time you backed up YOUR most precious files?

Dreams.

I am, somewhat reluctantly, awake. My getting up in the mornings didn't last for more than a couple mornings before I had a night when I couldn't sleep until 6:00 am. So now my body want to sleep in until 4:00 pm every day, but I'm not letting it. Instead I've been setting my alarm for noon or 1:00pm and dragging my body out of bed.

Having an alarm wake me up makes it more likely for me to be able to remember my dreams. Not that that is always such a good thing. This morning's dream was about me designing a new and improved package manager for Linux. Unlike certain geniuses who wake up with wonderful ideas or designs in their heads, all I'll say about my dream design is that it would truly suck if someone were dumb enough to try to implement it.

The day before however, I had an absolutely wonderful dream which I am letting fade from memory because it contained completely unacceptable content on a number of different axes. So it was fun, but also illegal, immoral, unethical and definitely non-PC. azrhey once told me that she hopes there never exists such a thing as a dream scanner because she doesn't want anyone to know what goes on in her head at night. Well, I've now had one of those dreams.
