WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember the Magic Pt 16

[HollyTyler]

And now for the latest drama at Eastwood Manor.

Sukie got his iMac back yesterday. While it was in repair he had been working on mine, though under his own user. My machine was not backing up during this time, because there really wasn't enough room on my external drive for both our Time Machines. His files also weren't backing up to the normal off-site web based storage, Sugarsync.

I started moving files from my iMac to his, and somehow got confused in the process. I thought I had duplicate folders and deleted one (I was doing all this over the network). We then realized that I had deleted his latest files on my iMac. I ended up deleting his latest blog, newspaper column and a chapter of a new book!

What my triple back-up redundancy plan never contemplated, was a machine outage and then fat fingered Ian erasing files.

So, there was hysteria and panic all around. At first we thought I had deleted his entire history book, six years worth of work, but then found that we had lost a week of work.

I then had to hunt down a deleted file recovery program, which took 11 hours to run to scan my hard drive for the deleted files. I also had to run it on his iMac, in the hopes that I had fleetingly copied the files there to his machine prior to deleting them off of every hard-drive on the planet. The program cost me $99 which was an expense I was not planning.

We managed to recover some of his work from Sugarsync, and his lost files for the week from the recovery program.

The blog was recovered completely in tact. The book chapter unfortunately only had an older version recovered but only about 4 sentences were lost.

All in all I started on this at noon on Saturday and finished at 6:30 am today.

Everything is now calm and peaceful. This afternoon I am going to get him another external hard-drive as a back-up to the back-up to the back-up. It may seem excessive, but it's worth it as that is all of his work.

In this case my redundancy plan would have been fine, had his iMac not been out of commission for a week.

Though no amount of backing-up will ever compensate for fat fingers.

Holy crap Ian, Sukie must have been PISSED. Glad you were able to recover most of it though, despite the expense and lots of time. Wow, what a crappy way to spend the day.

Oh my goodness Ian! How was Sukie taking all that? Would it make another blogsworth??

Yea, what he said.....Happy 15th Anniversary Bubba and V. Hope you had an awesome cruise. Tell us all about it and we want pics.

Did any of you do the dolphin swim in Cabo?

I love dolphins so we're considering doing it on our cruise.
Since we will be kid-free it might be the time to try it, I'm just nervous that it won't be spectacular.

Hi Shannon, know it's kind of a delayed response, but I did the dolphin swim in cabo with my niece. we both loved it. If you go, say hi to Maya for me.

Sukie said he would leave that as material for when I start writing MY blog in March.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

Happy Anniversary Bubba & Venetia!

Hoping to hear a review of cruise and hoping we can see you in San Diego on March 13

Busy day yesterday, but I did have some laughs trying on bridesmaids dress yesterday. Its amazing how truly bad some can make me look. Good thing there's still a few months until Ken's sister's wedding. She really wants her bridesmaid's to like the dresses and be able to wear them many times afterwards. So its a work in process to find something that meets everybody's expectations for looks and price.

The kids & I came home today and we've been watching Olympics all afternoon. I've thrown in a bit of laundry and a bit or exercising too for a relaxing afternoon/evening.

A Valentine's Day anniversary? How sweet! Happy Anniversary, Bubba and V!

No, I haven't booked the November cruise...at least I don't THINK I did! But maybe I'm supposed to...hmmmm....

I spoke w/ my parents last night about my possible trip down to see them later on this year and since it would affect my Thanksgiving trip to Eastwood Manor I figured I'd let you guys know what's up

At this moment it looks like I'll schedule myself into Chi-town the 23rd or the 24th of November, heading out evening the 26th or mid-am on the 27th (depending on the date I fly in). I plan to use mileage for the ticket, so I don't have as much flexibility as I would like.

So....Kathe, Cheri & Nan....keep me informed on your dates & we'll chat about the hotel

 

[mishoe01]

Happy belated Valentine's day to my dear friends

V & Bubba - hope the cruise was nice & there were no tears this time Happy Anniversary too.

for those who need them - know that we are here for you.

Here's hoping those with ailments feel better soon.

John - GREAT to see you here - I read your updates on FB but it's still nice when you come home to visit

What else???

I'm working my 8th day in a row...next day off is 5 days away - really wanting a nap right now

Ian - tell Tallulah that she looked gooooorgeous on her internet debut

Happy Monday everyone!

We're going to the Olympics!
Ken & I decided this morning that it was worth the 4 days of vacation time to head down to Vancouver and check out the Olympics.
We won't be going to any actual events, just checking out the sites and doing the free stuff.
So tomorrow morning we head south

thumbsup2Nan - I bet you're saying "I told you to go!")


Michelle - hope you feel better soon!
