RIP

Last night my backup external hard drive died. Sort of. It's still dying, in a way.

Depending on what computer you plug it into it'll work anywhere from 20-30 seconds to maybe five minutes. After that you have to unplug it, plug it back in, and wait for the computer to recognize it again, and after that the amount of time it works is less. I've managed to save most of the pictures I've taken of my family, things like that, so it's not such a total loss. And funny enough yesterday morning I went up and backed up all the things I'd ever written.
