Meantime, I keep remembering data that isn't anywhere else - some of it less critical (my iTunes library...) and others, well... All my teaching information - both retrospective (mark schedules, spreadsheets with complex formulae to weight peer assessment of assignments, detailed assignment feedback for each student...) as well as prospective - course outlines, seminar plans and reading material for the semester about to unfurl. And - critically - my bookmarks file! My email archives! Documents and spreadsheets of all kinds... Seared across my forehead now, like a tattoo: Thou shalt back-up regularly!
Prayers to St Anthony have now been diverted to St Jude.
Meanwhile, the divorce from Groupwise continues to bring relief and light into my life. It's so nice to have working spam control! Messages that arrive in my inbox are messages that actually belong there - well, aside from some stray ones from Isengard that I've yet to work out how to filter out, given that server-based email addresses have now been abandoned and subnets reconfigured...
