When I was in school we had zip disk of all our stuff, and we backed them up onto other zip discs because half of us got that clicking disease where the disc just up and died. Ever since, I have avoided iOmega products.

That fancy online storage hadn't been invented (become mainstream) yet.

I started using the microsoft briefcase thing awhile back which easily lets me sync important files between my thumb drive and hard drive for backup and portability.

No way was I writing that thing twice.

If this happened to me during a thesis i would almost certainly drop out or kill myself.

I've found when I've lost essays I usually remembered them almost word for word, paragraph by paragraph during the re-write, so it might not be that bad.

If you've worked hard on something it usually burns into the memory to quite an amazing degree.

So i've logged into Last.fm, and I can see they've been listening to some stuff.

Is there any way i can get an i.p. address or something from this?

I figure the trail is gonna go cold so the sooner i act on this the better.

Check out the support forums. Someone was asking the admins about this just a little while ago, and Dalen started a thread here about it.

I think if you can show them a copy of the police report, they might be able to help out.

I was enjoying a lovely weekend away out on the sea, only to come home to find the front door wide open. The little shits took all my booze, my computer, some jewelery and the brand new goddamn car. All my work from the last year is gone. I had two HUGE fucking essays I had just finished that are due tomorrow. Gone.

The cops showed me photos of the car. It's... ugly. A burnt-out chassis, some molten slag and the engine block, found in a vacant lot. Some little trailer trash cunts had some fun.

Oh, and they took a jar of change that had like fifteen dollars in shrapnel in it, but missed the five hundred dollar wad of cash lying next to it under a paper weight. Fucking idiots.

The whole job was really amateurish. They took all the cheap jewelery and left the expensive stuff (idiots), and spent quite a while trying to break into a money box that was empty in the first place. The cops took some decent prints and a footprint but these snotty little kids likely don't have a record. I guess the insurance will cover it all, but it won't rewrite all the shit on my computer.

Happy Easter!


oh jeez, what a disaster. did they have to break the lock? sorry man.

These fuckers are going to fry.
