A quick scare this morning: we had a short but total power outage this morning – not a biggie, unless your pc is running 24/7 (mine is acting as fax-server and all) :rolleyes:
Too bad that I don’t have a UPS for this computer anymore as it broke months ago and I just don’t feel like spending major bucks on a state-of-the-art one yet again (I’m not a big fan of Line-Interactive UPSs).

The pc wouldn’t boot up as the primary hdd refuse to spin, luckily enough it came alive after some reboots :tup:

That’s when it hit me: the last backup of my business stuff is more than 3 months old :eek: , so first thing I did was a dvd-backup and an off-site backup (encrypted on one of my private ftp-servers).

So I declare this day to be backup day! …and even more important: I’m looking around for an automated script-type backup to do an automatic off-site backup regularly from now on ;-)

Well, well, it’s been a while since my last post – I’m sort of really busy these days…

Fantasy Footie:

1. Premiere League: I’m playing in the Daily Telegraph’s Fantasy Football League again (link). There are many prices up for grabs and I guess it’s going to be fun to compete against Joe again…same bet as last year: the one who scores more points over the course of the season will receive a free account for the next season (so far it’s 1-1, Joe won last season, I won the season before the last season).
2. German league: I’m playing in a private online game again…so far I’m in midfield, let’s see if I can get into the price ranges this year (places 1-15 out of 100)

Uni:
I’m in the middle of a learning spree as the exams are coming mighty fast (mid September and early October). Apart from that I’m trying to get in gear with our research project.

Online stuff:
I’m trying to get some new projects off the ground and it’s really hard to get the time together to really work on things…

1. ImageUploads.info is completed and is slowly picking up a user base…nothing more to do, at least for now.
2. Crown-Mail.com is completed, although I’m not totally satisfied with the slicing of the images, needs some final touch-ups…
3. Blogtastic – the final goal of the site is to act as a reference for available blogsoftware as well as a discussion place for bloggers, curious “non-bloggers” and who knows what else…needs a lot of work…
4. Ingoal Network – I’ve got so many different sites now, but they’re not “under one roof”, so the Ingoal Network would be just that, a housing for all my sites…the domain has been with me for quite a long time, but I didn’t get around to do anything with it yet…hopefully that’ll change soonish…

Today:
The Pope, our very own Joseph Ratzinger, Benedikt XVI. is in Germany. I’m just watching the tv coverage and you gotta be amazed. Whether you are a believer or not, it’s just amazing to see how many people are moved by a single person!
