Data Backup

Yo barnson.org bloggers, technical question about backing up data from a hard drive. I’m wondering if anybody out there has ideas of how to backup 5+GB of data from a personal home desktop without having to spend hours burning 10 CDRs or upping to a server at 30KB/s max.

Removeable drives?

Currently, my business and personal files are all on one box. It’s funny to think how one little box, which I really don’t know that much about, controls my fate. Anyway, every week I backup the hard drive on two separate CD-Rs, label them, and put them in the glove compartment of my car. I do this because if something happens to the house, then the data isn’t in the house. Seems to me that this procedure is kind of lame.

Green Bay Packers Carry Kerry To the Presidency

As noted by an anonymous reader of barnson.org, the Green Bay Packers won the last Redskins game before the election.

According to the linked page and story, if the Redskins continue this successful prediction sweep for the 76th year, Kerry will be President of the United States this January 1.

Of course, the chances were already 1 in 262,144 that they would successfully predict the presidency as long as they did. If the game succeeds in predicting the outcome of the presidency again, it would up the odds to 1 in 524,288.

Enterprise

Ok,
I know for a fact that timpane says he watches enterprise. So I was curious on his take on Borderland. I for one thought it was an outstanding episode, despite the fact that Brent Spiner was in it.

BLOGSLACKING

Holy moly! I’ve been a blogslacker on my own blog for some time, but never on Barnson! Yet, here I am, having not posted in awhile..

School has eaten my soul and my time as I also try to complete this score for “Crawler” (way past deadline) – and I’ve been out of touch.

Such a shame b/c I have lots to say on Enterprise, Movies, the upcoming election, music, and such.. but I will have to keep posting less frequently until I finally finish school.

Expect a couple pretty soon, but I apologize in advance for letting this stupid real world get in the way of my digital life.
