Back ups are very important. Maybe that’s a bit of an understatement. I have over 100GB is critical data. Five years of digital photos, both raw and edited. A year’s worth of digital video in MPEG2 format. My MP3s from my archived CD collection.
I have a lot of critical crap.
I was at the store today picking up some parts and I saw this cute, little carbon fiber and cloth airplane. It was cute and cheap, so I figured I’d go for it.
I just did a back-end upgrade from Sarge to Etch. It went pretty well. I did take the extra time to read all the prompts. Good thing too, otherwise my MySQL, Apache, Webalizer, and a few other config files would have been overwritten.
I also took the time to put up an Iwakuni Trader test site. For starters, I added multiple pictures. I’m going to try and spruce up the site over the next few weeks with a visual overhaul. We’ll see how that goes.
Well, after a long break, it was time to start looking at my server. You know, giving her some lovin’. I decided to move some files around for better access and to create a backup plan.
I got a Wii! It’s a neat little console. The physical box is very slick and very small. It’s not much bigger than an external hard drive enclosure. There is a small cover on the front. Behind that, sockets for SD cards and the remote “re-sync” button. On the top/side (more on that in a bit), you’ll find another cover. Behind that you’ll find sockets for GameCube controllers and memory cards.
I finally told people about Iwakuni Trader yesterday. I’d been working on the idea for about a year. Now, the beast has been unleashed. I’m interested in seeing how it holds up.
