Soooo.  Today went well.  I was busy kicking ass and taking names when I kicked too hard and my external hard drive enclosure fell on the floor.  Well it seems that hard drives don’t appreciate a little freestyle jumping and it refused to boot.

I went downstairs to one of my friends place and tested the drive on his desktop computer.  The drive when turned on made lots of lovely noises, but just wouldn’t turn on so I am SOL.

What this means:  I have lost 900 GB of data that was available to me while in Prague.  I lost app installs, all my movies and my music.  Now I am not a stupid so my music is still on my desktop computer which my friend has been taking care of while I am out of the country.  The 400gb worth of movies, well they don’t matter.  They are mostly lost, but the internet keeps getting faster and I will just be able to stream whatever movies I want from my own site if I need a movie. 

Yet, this is still rather tragic as it was very nice to have a massive amount of music on shuffle while I worked.  I can go back to listening to last.fm, however in order to do that I need to launch a date cracking software, that launches an IP hiding program and makes me look like I am in America… before I use last.fm since they started charging per month to use their service overseas due to licensing issues.

Don’t worry about me replacing the expensive drive, as it is still under warranty, though I can’t send it back until I am back in America so I might as well not start the RMA now. 

So if anybody would like to pay their respects to my formerly amazing media storage device, there will be a moment of silence immediately proceeding your reading of this post.  I would set a time, but then we would all have to synchronize watches cell phones and I just don’t see that working.
