Okay, first my BlackBook (Jade) died from a screen malfunction, but that’s okay, I backed her up on my TimeMachine, so all I need to do is a screen and logic board swap. I can deal with that.
However.
My external that housed my Aperture Library, failed. I”m guessing it was a power surge last week during those storms we had. (I had it on a surge protector/battery backup so I don’t quite get it). 500gb of photos, gone. Lost. The latest backup I have is from my trip to the states over two months ago. So ALL the good photos I was gonna put in my portfolio I was creating, gone. All the recent edits, touch-ups, everything. Gone.
As you can imagine, I’m quite sad. This has cemented the fact that I will be getting a Drobo (and probably multiple at that). 500gb… Goddamn that’s a lot of stuff to lose. I is sad.
