Middle America's Worldview

Tuesday, my laptop would not boot up properly. It would only get to the background then sit there humming. I had to Fedex it to corporate in the desparate attempt to pull the data from the harddrive.

Fortunately, I was only out of pocket 2 days. I Fedex it overnight Tuesday. PCLAN acquired it Wednesday and overnight it back that same day. It arrived around 2 p.m. local time Thursday. The bad news is all data lost. I mean a clean slate.

I posted before, my attempt to find the perfect organizing software, as I was also revamping my data structure to better my organization. However, after reading some online articles and David Allen's great book entitled "Getting Things Done", it became apparent that program doesn't exist.

I mentioned to my wife last night, gasp, I am seriously thinking of going to paper. I will keep my PDA and calendar, contacts, ect. but also utilize a notepad on my projects. I would still have to double my notes when I provide my electronic updates, but I would at least be able to keep those after a harddrive crash.

I am also looking to acquire a external harddrive for daily backups.
