MY working mojo’s hampered by two consecutive hardware-related problems that are currently resting on my shoulders. <\/p>\n
The first deals with a hard disk crash which I have scribbled about somewhere but decided not to post online since I have just recently blogged about a similar crash last April<\/a>.<\/p>\n I was able to salvage everything last April. This time, of the three partitions that crashed, I was only able to save 2<\/span>.<\/p>\n LIGHTNING+FLUCtuations = 1 | WildFire = 0.<\/span><\/p>\n So after backing up files like crazy for days… leaving the PC to winrar stuff overnight, writing and re-writing everything on DVD-Rs and some spare hard disks and countless re-organizations and sleeping around 4<\/span> in the morning (rising around 7<\/span>AM to check the compression process and sleeping once again), I am beginning to see the light.<\/p>\n TheLIGHT!<\/p>\n That’s when another hardware-related work-mojo-crashing event came in.<\/p>\n Now our 1<\/span> year and 7<\/span> months old Canon A95<\/span> digital camera started puking purple stuff in its LCD. <\/p>\n I did my homework for 6<\/span> months, deciding what I really need and reading tons of reviews, samples and comparisons online and offline before acquiring this cam.<\/p>\n The feedback then was good. And it is still good even now.<\/p>\n Plus it did perform well. In fact I filled one CD-R in a month with pictures while it took me two years to fill that same quantity with my previous digital cam. <\/p>\n
