So ... due to a ridiculous virus that was making my life unhappy, I had to reformat my laptop's hard drive.

Twice. The second time was because I botched restoring from backups, thus seriously buggering up the filesystem permissions. I couldn't run Photoshop, for instance.

The good news is, I have 90% of what I need on an external USB hard drive, and I had 90% of everything else backed up. The bad news is that among that which was lost was an E-Portfolio I was working on for a class (I had it on my laptop's hard drive, due to that being where Apache resides. Lesson learned: never wait to upload important files), and my (ill-concieved and not-even-1%-completed) Inform 7 projects. Le sigh ...

Have some smiley - tea... It's said to be good for backup disasters.
