I<\/span> woke up early with the thought of cleaning up and organizing this bunch of backup-CDs I’ve never touched since years. While I was tagging them one by one, I remembered this tool someone wrote for the MSX computer to archive and inventorize (that’s not a legitimate word) 3.5 inch disks (or ‘diskettes’ as we called them then). That would be a fun hobby project, if it wasn’t for time.\n<\/p>\n

Nope: it’s like that all my mail of the period between 2000 to 2003 disappeared in a black hole.\n<\/p>\n

What I did find was interesting no-less: copies of Debian Sid, Woody and Sarge (god, I loved Sarge<\/a>), old family photos from the time my mother-in-law was still alive, dad’s photos when he was over here, photos of a bunch of KDE hackers (apparently not mine), sources to a Delphi library to write and read BIFF files and recipes. Oh, and that copy of Wing Commander (the movie) that somehow made it onto one of my harddrives.\n<\/p>\n

Mission not so accomplished. I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
