Ranjini,

I had no clue that the advts are context sensitive...
 I changed the title of my blog but those "naughty or nice" ads continue to be there...I don't know how to get rid of them...

you getting mosquito baits?? :)..well ! I should have been getting advts for 'pooper scoopers' but instead I am getting these cheesy ones..

Thanks for that info...

Hey Bliz,

You know that the ads on the right side are context sensitive, right? So why are there some bad girls - specifically the ad's title is 'Naughty or nice". Your title seems to have something to do with it!!! Not sure if you are seeing the same right frame! 
For my last 3 blogs, I have been getting a pile of dead mosquitoes on my right frame with baits to kill them!

Hey Nargis,

Yeah its one of those things that we have no control over...crap happens...

I was totally bummed out yesterday but since despair doesn't help me I figured I shall just do some damage control and move on...what is lost is lost..

Some of the stuff I had backed up on to my laptop so I still have some stuff left..though majority of my photos are gone...

Please do backup your books drafts and all your articles...can't trust these machines..

Thank you ..I am alive and kicking :) :)

Hey Blizz................

             That's so terrible! Tomorrow I'm going to transfer everything from my comp to another. Never realised a back up was so essential. I guess some of us lazy ones need a wake up call like this.....only this is not a wake up call. Feels more like a gunshot aimed straight at your heart. My condolences.....for that untimely death.  

Bina,

Thank you so much for being here with those words...really appreciate it...I feel much better now since yesterday and doing the 'damage control'... :)

I am yet to catch up with your blogs..got your note..will be there..
Thank you!

Ranjini,

Thank you so much for those very useful suggestions..I am in the process of transferring it all to CD but I think I will do what you suggested and put it all in gmail cache too...lot more safer ..
Thanks a tone again for it..

I was quite bummed out but no use crying over spilt milk so... just getting things done :)

Hey Bliz,
I have two suggestions for you.
One, always email every single file as soon as it is created to your Gmail. I have some very huge files including graphics saved in Gmail and I do it diligently. I even email myself a draft with the date just to keep it safe. I email all photos to myself in Gmail and Yahoo. I also post my home videos on private Google video accounts. That way I always have a digital version incase the analog dies!
The second option would be to create a webpage through Cox if that's what is your cable company. Then you can transfer large files very easily to save them by FTPing. File Transfer Protocol.   Also, you can go to a wesite called YouSendIt.com and send very large files to whichever account you want.

These are all the many ways by which you can keep duplicates. Do not simply back them all into CDs or DVDs and be happy because none of them are as reliable as uploading on to reliable websites. Many of my CDs and DVDs have also conked out over the years and many cannot even be read by a computer because of shoddy burning software.
Hope this helps.
