Hey Greg,
Good to see you back in action :) Wish you the very best in your new position. My external hard disk crashed so the time got used up in data recovery and learning, thus this delay in congratulating you :). Most of the things were backed up in other places too and I could download. Later I could recover the hard disk too, like a magic (I am not able to figure out how it did work), I just rewrote the partition and things worked. Anyways the lesson is, keep back up of things in different places, use things like rsync [ http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/ ] if you are on FreeBSD or *nixs and SyncToy [ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E0FC1154-C975-4... ] on windows to update the backups. Both of them are free and work great. Since you guys have great Internet connection, I would recommend GDisk [ http://gdisk.sourceforge.net/ ] which converts GMail to free online storage device.
Regards,
Animesh

Some regular readers may have noticed the site was off-line for a few days. Basically I forgot to pay my credit card bill, this has now been remedied, so the site is back and so am I. Over the last few months I changed jobs and moved into a new apartment. I don't need to explain the effect this has on one's mental and physical well being but the worst of it is over.
