Up and Running

[gothwalk]

Thanks to olethros' efforts, my PC is up and running again. The problem seems to have been some bad sectors on the hard disk. Over the next few weeks, though, I'm going to be transferring a lot of data to online storage of some kind, as some bad sectors can be a bad sign for a disc.

Peculiarly, I got on fine without it. Most of my current projects are already online, via Google Documents, Gmail, LJ, blog software, and various message boards, all acessible via the laptop, and the only things I missed were installations of EVE and WoW. Further, WoW was playable on olethros' Mac Mini (fast becoming the designated emergency computer), and I have an installation of EVE in work so that I can change skills.

There are ongoing discussions wrt to backups and remote storage - mainly for images and media files. A lot of these are large files, work in progress, or just plain archival stuff, and as yet, I don't know of anything like Google Docs for images.
