Why we do backups

We had someone leave our office this week. He ended his employment here effective Dec. 1. Before he left, he decided to clean up his files and stuff and deleted a bunch of stuff that he figured no one would need once he was gone. This morning, a couple of the women I work with showed up at my door looking rather solemn. Turns out, he deleted stuff they need. Good thing we do a full backup of the file server every weekend, eh? I should be able to grab it from last week’s backup, but figuring out what they need, and what other people need, and what they don’t, might keep me a little more occupied than I thought I was going to be today.. 🙂

    Andy’s post today reminded me of a similar experience I had. I submitted a resume in response to an ad on a nationwide job board. Actually a reputable one at that, but obviously they don’t control everyone who posts jobs there. Within minutes of sending the resume in response I got an email, letting me…

    Have you been reading Mark Pilgrim’s 30 days to a more accessible weblog? You should be, it’s got some really good stuff. For example, in the last two days he’s had links to Lynx viewer, which lets you take a quick look at how your site renders to someone using Lynx, and to VisCheck which…
