From Dude Goes What

E-mail from client:

ASAP. Send versions and copies of the investor presentations [sic] project. My hard drive crashed, and all the work it [sic] gone. I’m fucked.

My reply:

You never copied me on your edit or rework of my material. It was extensive. Also, you never sent me the data or charts as I asked. I don’t have copies of that material either.

My client is hosed.

I carefully save my work. First, I write it long hand so I always have a physical copy. It’s also just a better way to write.

I edit on a MacBookPro. That work is synced locally using a Mac Mini and also copied remotely.

I found one thing with this set up that is mesmerizing. When I screen share to my Mac Mini, I can then screen share back to my MacBookPro. This screen share of a screen share is like nested mirrors reflecting to infinity.

Changes in the foreground slowly tumble back down each reflection eventually lost in the distance.
