I hate forgetting things

[liralen]

I forgot to get my check to Eskimo to renew my account, they'd sent me a notice before Thanksgiving, and I just completely forgot to send the check in, what with Kathy coming by and everything. I'm tempted to back up everything from the account, but it's more than 10 meg worth of stuff, including all of Jet's pictures. Actually, I guess I could just backup my home directory and all my mail because I already have a backup of all the pictures and the indices into them.

That would be doable.

Still, it's annoying that I completely spaced on getting that in. They are, however, gracious enough to give me a week's grace, when I said that I'd sent the check in, so they've marked the account to give me the time, since I sent them a letter saying that I really wanted to renew.

I'm glad they are that good about it. It doesn't stop me from worrying, though.

/usr/local on flick still has 800MB available, so go ahead and back it up to there if you want; it's in the happy ADSL direction so you should get pretty good transfer times, too. My own backups are still pretty spotty (have been too busy or tired to automate them, so ended up running them manually, which means, uh, when I remember), but send me mail and I'll at least try to remember to put it onto tape tonight. Having a couple more copies out on the net is a good thing. :)

Wow! Thanks!

Thanks! I'll do that, then. That's very helpful to know. I'll let you know when I do it, so you'll know if a backup's needed or not.

Whew.
