Half awake.

My computer is back and functional. I still need to reinstall a few programs, mostly some chat stuff - old hat at at this point, really. It's getting kind of absurd. Recreating my music library is becoming something of a hobby. And the first person who suggests a Mac or Linux PC because those don't get viruses is going to be treated to a cavity search by Edward Scissorhands.

Due to a mix-up on my own part and through no fault of the computer tech people, I lost some random stuff on my desktop and all my Firefox bookmarks. This means that, one, it's time to make use of my del.icio.us account, two, I should go ahead and buy those two albums, and three, thank God I sent someone the previous draft of my Big Bang fic since rewriting 500 words is much easier than recreating 5000.

I just keep all my music and photos and misc archives on external HDs. As for files I’m working on, I use DropBox.com (and if you need a referral link, ask me and we both get an extra 250 MB). For syncing prefs and bookmarks, I like SugarSync.com but Mozy.com is another popular one.

Of course, with DropBox, SugarSync and Mozy, you have to have some comfort with your files living somewhere on the internet instead of on your computer. But I like the convenience.

Gah, the losses and inconvenience are horrible, but I'm glad at least that you didn't lose everything.

And that everything's working now. It isn't much, but it's something. *hugs*

Yay! I'm glad you got it back finally.
