computer error
This afternoon, my computer has spontaneously chosen to turn itself into an expensive brick of white plastic and printed circuits. While I can still access e-mail and this station via campus terminals, the majority of my contact information and professional data remains interred on the now silent hard-drive. The usual ritual incantations and mumblings have failed to resurrect it from the great beyond, and my last external backup was at the beginning of finals week.
I had actually scheduled an additional backup for this afternoon when the machine locked up.
Until such time as I can get my machine up and running again - or at least figure out a trickier way to export some of the more personally important data, please feel free to contact me via the usual alternative methods.
