Oh crepe

What's with the title? I had it for dinner today, mushroom chicken to be exact. It also has something to do with some bad news that I received from my friend when he called me earlier this evening.

What's the bad news? His hard disk had died. About 5 years ago, we both bought the same 250GB hard disk. It was at a time when that much space meant a lot, so we became one of the few people who had over 200GB of space. But that became used up really quickly, holding stuff like TV series, movies, games. Even the 1TB of space that I have on my PC + portable HDD combined is running out.

So what does this news mean for my own 250GB HDD? Well, it should mean that I have to make a backup of that HDD soon, for fear that it might crash anytime soon too. But I'm too lazy to do backup. 250GB is a lot to backup. I just hope that my good track record of never having a HDD die out on me will keep on continuing.
