English Yokel

Yes, there was a bit of a disaster!

This is just a quick post to let the rest of the world know the Yokel is still alive and breathing. For a while it just looked as though his sitting and thinking had really gone to his head! But it really wasn't like that at all.

In the middle of an already busy period, shortly after his previous posting, Yokel's computer decided to make his hard drive unreadable! For those who understand these things, it overwrote the FAT (File Allocation Table). Yes there is software that is said to recover from such disasters, but I think it is fair to say that they are not 100% efficient. In the end, I guess that some 60% of the data was recovered this way. Some more was to be found on an ancient copy, but alas, some was lost altogether.

"Why no back up?" I hear you cry. Not half as loudly as Yokel was crying! The week before his back up was lost for different reasons, and at the time the real disaster struck he was just preparing to make a full copy of everything that was anything in his world. I think the song tells us "What a difference a day makes". Well, to be honest just five minutes is sufficient! Oh well. Much is back to normal now.

So Yokel took the opportunity to revamp his theme, and is back to work again. Thanks for hanging around waiting for another posting about the matters of the moment. That'll be for tomorrow.
