Rattle has shit for luck
by Rattle at 12:31 am EST, Nov 26, 2005

Thanksgiving night my girlfriend's appartment was broken into. Only two things were stolen: My Powerbook and iPod

My most recent backup was 3 weeks ago. This means I have lost all of the preperation work for a number of papers I have due. I have also lost a fair amount of Industrial Memetics related materials that had been worked on recently. Also toast is my schedule and all the notes I use to keep track of things.

At this point, it's not exactly clear how much of this $3k+ loss will be covered by insurance. Hopefully, all of it will be. My Powerbook was my only workstation, so the next week or so is going to be pretty tough. I have a fair amount of work to make up. Don't expect much posting from me.

I also have no tunes. :(

Well, I ordered new gear today. At the very least, within a week I'll have a machine again. In the meantime, I can deal with using other people's gear and computer labs.

On Monday I'll be able to kick off my insurance claim. I pray they can cover everything. If they can't, I wind up with something I have not had in quite some time: credit card debt
