A few weeks ago I posted on The Fear. Not sure what The Fear is? Check it out here.
Well, last night The Fear struck! My computer stopped working (throwing crazy erros – I’m a PC users). I actually ended up trying to swap in a new hard drive to fix the problem. When that didn’t do the trick, I turned to the web and did some troubleshooting. I eventually found out that it was due to corrupted memory. After pulling one of my memory sticks, I was back up and running.
The downside (and why I can hate my computer sometimes)? Hours of wasted time – as a result, I won’t be posting anything major today.
Just a reminder, though! Always make sure you are backing up your data – don’t let The Fear become a reality.

Daily incremental backups across a RAID, weekly full backups. The only thing that is actually on my computer is the OS and a few office docs. If the PC crashes, I re-image with an ISO I have on file and am back up and running within an hour or so. Good post though, as the FEAR is something that can be mitigated if not completely removed. Glad to see you’re back posting though.
