When I started putting everything on my flash drive last summer, I thought I was protecting myself from my PC hard drive crashing again.
Unfortunately, flash drives can crash, too; now I have both my PC’s hard drive and my flash drive, plus my latest acquisition, a portable external computer hard drive that looks like a big iPod with no screen. It’s way faster than my flash drive and stores an impressive 250GB!
Hopefully that means, if I sync everything up once a week, that I’ll never have a catastrophic loss of data again, without having some way to get it back! That’s important for an aspiring Messianic rabbi or minister!
Why my last two sermons aren’t up yet
Monday, February 1st, 2010
OK, here’s the reason why my last two sermons at Beth Yeshua aren’t up yet: when my flash drive crashed a couple weeks ago, I lost my only copy of my sermon on the Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Ruler. And it was a lengthy sermon, coming in at over 4,000 words.
I had a print-out, so I was able to deliver it just fine; I even have the audio file uploaded and ready to rock. But I have to re-type it out, which is long, boring work and I just haven’t had the time, since the only reason I’d be doing it is for the blog.
Fortunately, in addition to a new flash drive, I also have a new back-up hard drive, so I should soon be better-protected against data loss than ever. That wouldn’t have helped in this case, though, since I had only just finished the sermon and printed it out before the flash drive crashed.
