Crrrashhhh
Hard disks have a pesky habit of crashing at the most inappropraite of times. I remember the last two times my hard disk crashed: last one was the day after I entered all the marks for the course I was teaching in a worksheet (I had taken no backup); the one before happened just after (thank goodness!) I finished my faculty candidate interview at IISc in 2006.
An abstract is due on Tuesday. This is an email I got from my student:
i have run into a serious problem with my computer ..
my entire [***] Folder is missing and i m trying to find what has happened .. i have kept a back up with [***] and have asked him to mail it to me ASAP.at least the results folder..
Heat and especially dust does this to computers in India. AC offices are a boon because they keep the dust out.
