Time To Back Up Your Back Ups







Time To Back Up Your Back Ups

Time To Back Up Your Back Ups 09/01/2004 06:24 AM

Wasn't Jack Valenti just telling us that DVDs last forever? Maybe not. As many people are now learning, digital media has a pretty rapid decay rate. The latest to discover this was a reporter who, five years ago or so, had fallen for that old (har har) "paperless office" gag that has been pulled before. He bought a CD-RW and scanned in all sorts of stuff (including photos and old articles he'd written) -- and then made the fatal mistake: he tossed out the original copies. Glad to have the filing space back, he proceeded to shove the CDs on a shelf somewhere and forget about them for years... until now. Partly out of curiosity, he pulled out these backup CDs, put them in his CD drive and discovered the wonders of Windows error messages. He begins to wonder (uh oh) what will this mean for all the CDs and DVDs he's been paying good money for over the years. It would be nice if he could back them all up, perhaps multiple times to various different storage media, but the entertainment industry isn't real keen on that idea, seeing as they're actively stompin g out those who try to help you save your own digital files.

Switch back to Pacific time?


Switch back to Pacific time? 09/13/2004 03:41 AM

In the upper right corner of this page there's a pretty important piece of text that says what time the blog was last updated.

Right now it says: "Monday, September 13, 2004 at 4:22 AM Eastern," which is accurate, but it doesn't give you much of an idea of the temporal environment at the point of entry.

In fact, in Seattle, where I am now as I write this, and as I will be for much of the remainder of 2004, it's now 1:29 AM Pacific."

So the question now is should I switch the message?

We deal in the weighty issues of the day, and the minute issues of the day too. Service with a smile. ";->"

"Back-to-Iraq" bl0gger is back in Iraq 05/20/2004 05:43 PM
Clive sez: "Chris Allbritton has begun blogging from Iraq. He's the writer who raised $13,000 last year from his blog readers to fund an indie-reporting trip to Iraq during the war. His readers have asked him to go back, and he raised another $11,000 in the last few months. He just arrived in Baghdad, and has begun writing more of his excellent stuff -- slices of everyday life in one of the most fraught places on earth. The first post describes the crazily harrowing landing you have to endure when you fly into Baghdad, as the plane corkscrews down to avoid shoulder-mounted missiles:"
After a normal flight, we went into a tight, corkscrew dive that sent your stomach up into your throat — and in the case of two passengers, out their mouths and into their laps. It’s a vomit-comet experience. But if you like roller coasters in a sealed container where you can’t really see anything, it’s a lot of fun. Just don’t think about the very real threat of shoulder-mounted SAMs.
