Moments of Permanence - This 'will to live' of which you speak... I am intrigued. Tell me more.

Someday soon I'm gonna back up everything on my HD that's worth it. And when I do, it will be copied to another digital thingie; printed out (unless it's a photo or something that's not worth printing on my crappy printer); *and* saved to google docs. Obviously, not something I'll keep up every time I make a minor change to a WIP.

Not trying to be superior, as currently the only things backed up are things I emailed to myself for various reasons. (Dear Grey Goose II, please keep behaving well. Just a little longer - I want to unfinish packing.)

The tragic thing is, I thought I had. But the computer reported that it had copied data across, and it hadn't.

As far as multiple backups go - I'm going to start storing *some* of the field notes data places like my web server, but I hadn't yet. (The half-gig audio data files I'll have to redownload from the servers at uni - which I can do when I'm on campus, because downloading gigabytes of data is better done via intranet for EVERYONE'S benefit.)
