Monday morning, and arghh.
Hi.
If these photos look a wee bit familiar to you, well...
Since I started taking all of these pictures, we'd been having some storage issues with our computer here at the home office. So Tim gifted me with the very romantic item that is an external hard drive. Once I figured out how to save my photos on that, instead of the computer, I ran with it and meticulously set up new files to hold all of my stuff.
And then it crashed.
And burned.
And all of the pictures I had taken for a week or so, gone.
There were a couple that I really liked, and I've been trying to recreate. Pathetic, I know. But there you have it.
Turns out, easier said than done.
::
In the meantime, there's some sun right now, and a nice breeze, and the natives are getting restless. We're off for a bike ride and maybe a little picnicking.
And summer marches on.
More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

oh the horror! i've had photo storage management issues for years now, and everyone says get an external hard drive, but i'm afraid it will crash. and now i have your cautionary tale to back me up. so sorry for your loss! thank goodness it wasn't more than a week's worth. but still, i hate to loose any photos. i'm missing a cd right now that's filled with a few months worth. i'm sure it will turn up, and thankfully many of the photos are on flickr and also on costco's website for printing purposes. but still - arghh just about sums it up! happy summering!
oh no!!!!! I get paranoid about that sometimes and wonderful if I should back up my back up
that is the worst...i'm grateful for that time capsule taking a backup every hour or so automatically, so i can always recreate, should the horror happen. i hope you can retrieve them!!!
I have an external but am looking for online storage to back-up my back-up. This is my worst nightmare!
oh no! can't be true. T and I had a big scare the other day when I thought i had reformatted a memory card that had our entire vacation on it. it's a sickening feeling. I hope there is a way you can retrieve those images you lost.
