the computerez, they hates me
decide to consider upgrading to MT 3.3
realize i need to back up current MT database
can't remember password
get distracted; decide to reboot computer before getting in too deep into something
get a disk error when trying to save a file
quietly freak out
reboot, apply security patch
decide to back up computer
try to get external hard drive to mount, it won't
causes computer to crash, reboot
install drivers, reboot
install updated drivers, reboot
still won't mount; run disk utility
external backup drive is corrupted and cannot be repaired
decide to try backing up by email zipped archives of things to underutilized gmail account
zip things
try to email three zips; mail crashes
try to email one zip; mail crashes
decide to back up to DVD
currently making more zips for the backup
now, wait. what was i trying to do? get comments working on the new allpods site? oh right. yeah. uh.
right.

ok, so a) your comment won't post right away because i have to approve it first and b) you might get a server error but your comment probably posted anyway and c) previewing doesn't work so i've removed the preview button.
