Entourage Crashed AGAIN
My Entourage has lost its mind again. (Aargh! That always derails my day.)
Periodically I will start my computer, open Entourage and discover that it has developed amnesia and reverted to a brand-new, just-installed state. Yes, that means no email, notes, events, tasks, etc. Just nothing.
I always stare in disbelief for a few moments. Then try restarting my laptop like maybe it was all just a bad dream.
For a while I was in the habit of backing up Entourage everyday, just in case. But last time it was so easily restored – by switching identities – that I fell out of the habit. Unfortunately, it's not showing any additional identities this time, so switching won't fix it this time.
I do have a backup that is only about three weeks old, so that's not too bad. I just have to figure out if I can download only the last three weeks of email from gmail. There's got to be a way.
Sadly, I also haven't synched my pda in several days at least.
Grrr. Man, I hate it when technology fails. Even more when I know it is partly my fault for not backing up stuff like I know I should. I gotta learn to back up everyday.
So, let this be YOUR reminder: back up your files.
I hope you are having a better morning than I am.
