Do.Not.Want (redux)
Jun. 24th, 2010 05:23 pmWe had a power cut at 0300 this morning, which lasted an hour and a half. I know this because (a) a neighbour's alarm went off and continued to go off for some considerable time, after which I still couldn't get back to sleep because it was too hot without the fan operating in my bedroom. So I was tired and cranky when I had to get up this morning to discover that...
... the power cut had happened in the middle of my nightly backup, just as it was copying my email data file. And the PC shutting down abruptly had corrupted said email data file, on which I had spent 4 hours restructuring, cleaning up and generally organising yesterday. Also...
... windows updated were being applied when the power went off.
Result: a sick PC that it has taken the best part of the day to restore to where it was last night. And if you sent me an email yesterday, sorry, but it's gorn away.
