The Horror of 2006

January 10th, 2006

And just after I posted that 2005 was (possibly) the best year of my life, my Raid 5 case with ALL of my music on it goes down – and has yet to come back up. If you know me, you know how awful this is. I’ve spent the past 3 years digitizing CDs and buying music from Bleep.com and the iTunes Music Store. Many of the CDs I’ve since traded in or sold on eBay. And now the Raid 5 case’s fan goes out and the box doesn’t come back up.

And for some reason, I’m not upset about it. Yet.

I have a strange calm about this loss of over 320GB of my music. A collection that has taken me years to compile. A collection that has meant more to me than a music collection should.

I will rebuild it. And it will be better than it ever was.
