Tiger update and a lesson learned, again
Earlier this year, I made a post about losing all my iTunes bookmarks. That sucked so bad, I immediately got a .mac account to back up all my important data.
Except I fucked up. I didn't back up all my important data.
I upgraded to Tiger a couple of weeks ago. Did a clean install. In other words, I erased my hard drive and started from scratch. Then I tried to do a restore off my iDisc .mac account. Everything seemed in order. All my work was intact; all my bookmarks and yes, all my iTunes folders.
It appears that I forgot to check the box for backing-up my mailboxes. I (twinge of pain) lost all my e-mail for the the last three years. A lot of important stuff was in those mailboxes. They're all gone.
That setback fucked me up pretty bad, which explains the lack of posts of late. Plus, I'm going headlong into production for the next few weeks. I may try to post for L.A., but more likely, I'll veg out in my hotel room at night.
