Google Saved My Life

Daven did a post like this today, so I figured I’d join in on the insane fun.

Yesterday my computer crashed. Massive hard drive failure. It was a RAID 0 drive lame reasons so the data is permafucked.

For those of you who didn’t understand that, RAID 0 Harddrives are like going down the freeway with each of your legs in two different cars. If one car runs out of gas and if you aren’t Jackie Chan, you are hosed.

I am hosed. Or at least I would have been.

Google saved my fucking life.

I recently moved all of my shit to Google. Documents to Google Documents, I sent all my existing email accounts to new Gmail accounts to use Gmail’s spam filtering.

Did you know you could do that? Use Gmail to download mail from another mail account and then use that gmail account from now on instead of your old Spammed to Death one? Well you can do that.

I lost a lot of psd’s etc in the hard drive crash, but what I didn’t lose was four books and a mountain of really fucking important email.

Google, you saved all my shit. I guess that makes us even for Vicodin stuff.
