But that costs me money. I have to pay $4 per Mb for all outgoing
_and_ incoming traffic...and I'm a real cheapskate.  *8-)

That's the one...right on the button !  :-)

I've now started doing daily backups on to floppies of any files I 
really feel I want to keep because I have now had 3 crashes
on two machines. On the first 2 crashes I was able access the hard
disk and grab what I wanted before reformatting...but not this time.
Even the Gurus couldn't access it after trying for 4 hours. :-(

Mind you I have also lost data on floppies which have proved unrecoverable.
Storage of data by electronic media is not reliable...hard copy in
print is essential for really vital stuff...but you can't do a hard
copy of a binary or executable.

OK...now someone should do a picture of a hard disk crash.

Bye,

Colin Douthwaite <cfb...@southern.co.nz> ASCII art 5 Feb 1998 00:00 · permalink · report

Bad News folks...my hard disk crashed last Friday. 400Mb+ of data
proved unrecoverable and was lost when the disk had to be
reformatted.

So Andreas Freise will not get his pictures in the gallery after all
because I lost that posting.

Also I lost the posting of llizard painting herself on an easel
which was due to go in the gallery.

However...I have now trimmed the portraits in the gallery down to
Ascii Artists who have done at least one more picture in addition to
their Self-Portrait.

Since many portraits have been removed I have at last added my own
portrait.  Meindert de Jong will recognise me immediately because
we met when he visited New Zealand a year or two ago and I had a
printout of Meindert's Ascii Portrait to help _me_ recognise _him_ ! :-)

I have also alphabeticised the list of artists names at the end of
the portraits.

My old Gallery file will now become a " Gallery of Self-Portraits "
and contain anyone who has done their own portrait or portraits.

Damn! That close ... :) 
Since llizard's serving my head on a silver plate right now, 
I really wonder where it'll end.

I don't think that a request for a repost is that bad
after all. Dejanews might be a nice service but it's not
a very nice experience to use it. I'd be glad to repost
anything needed. Doesn't cost me anything but a *click*.

OK.  If you want your self-portrait to be added to the Gallery of
Ascii Artists then a repost in alt.ascii.art of your article showing
self-portraits of about five people including yourself will needed.

( Don't try to email a copy to me because it will bounce due to anti-
spam measures I arranged last year when I was getting the more
junkmail than anyone else at my ISP. I post too much and to too many
newsgroups so my address had got everywhere.)

llizard is now in the Gallery...

Yes, OK, but now you've positioned your portrait at the top of the 
Gallery which infers that you lead the way in both Merit and Beauty. :-)

It was my distinct impression from the statement at the top of your
gallery: "In no particular Order of Merit or Beauty" that you had no
intention of making those kind of inferences.

By that statement to Jon, am I now to infer by the placement of your own
portrait that you have placed yourself above Joris and Joan in both
merit and beauty? Tut tut. Bad form.

Thank you for adding my portrait to the gallery, even though now the
inference (using your logic) is that I am at the bottom of everyone in
both merit and beauty.

Oh my, that typo must have been a Freudian slip.

I meant to say:
