<\/a>Aside from the pain in the ass nature of losing data on my server. One of my major worries was that I was also going to lose a ton of original photos.<\/p>\n

In general I don’t ever erase or overwrite an SD card from my camera. Instead I treat the card like film negatives and just store them away.<\/p>\n

But… And this is a BIG but, I didn’t always do that. It wasn’t until almost a year after the house fire (Where I lost everything) that I realized SD cards where actually pretty cheap and that I should just store them like negatives. During that period, I took a lot of photos and some of those were published, others made up part of my portfolio.

With the data crash I was pretty sure that I’d lost a ton of the pictures in that category.<\/p>\n

This morning, I plugged in a portable hard drive and started browsing the data it contained. There was a folder labeled “Pictures”. Innocuous, unassuming…. AND it was a full backup of the my photo library!<\/p>\n

<\/a>There was singing and dancing over my morning coffee.<\/p>\n

Another folder was called “Creative Writing” it contained all the writing I’d done through March 2011. So I’m a happy camper today. Yes there was some information that was lost but it appears that two of the areas I was really bummed out about… I had backed up.<\/p>\n

I even found scans of receipts, and paystub information covering the last 4 years.<\/p>\n

I guess sometimes being a compulsive asshole is a good thing!<\/p>\n
