Last night my HD decided it was done cooperating and decided to let me know by making this annoying noise of crunching and ticking. A few seconds later and the lovely blue screen appeared. Hoping that not all was lost and it was just a random thing I restarted and heard the same noise again. "Unable to detect HDD" appeared on screen and I knew right then that I was not going to get in and recover any of my files.

Fortunately I had done a backup on Friday so most of my files are residing on an external HD and I now need to wait until IS replaces and setups my HD for my old laptop. It's a Lenovo ThinkPad and some of my friends keep telling me to switch to a mac. I've been thinking about it but because some of the mobile software I use is only PC based I'm not sure if I want to run both Windows and OS X on a mac system. For now I'll stick with my PC.

I'm hoping by this Wednesday my HD will be replaced because I'm leaving on Thursday for Barcelona - where I'll be speaking next week at MAX Europe about Flash Lite 3 Development.

So for the next few days I may not be posting anything on my site as I try to get things fixed and organized.
