There’s an arsonist in my library and it’s me

While tinkering with RB svn (11.3), I thought it not necessary to make a backup of my music library. I can see you already shaking your head. Anyway, filed a bug yesterday, and it’s already been resolved. As for my music library, I happened to have an automatically created backup from when I opened the db (it’s just XML) in emacs! To think I was going to disable that feature….


~/.gnome2/rhythmbox$ ls -lht rhythmdb.xml*

-rw-r--r-- 1 steve steve 6.1M 2007-03-10 04:11 rhythmdb.xml~

I only lost 9 months of library changes…… A grand total of 165 songs?! :o Something’s wrong there…. My ratings! >.< Could have been worse, I suppose. Lesson learned (hopefully, for the last time). Always make backups! :D

Snow!

This year is supposedly going to be the coldest we’ve had in 15 years! I guess that’s good news for the mountains!

Yesterday we had a bit of snow.

I took my sister’s dog for a walk while trying to take evening pictures.

Today, I woke up bright and early at 7am, and we had received more!

Not only is this early for Vancouver to get snow, but we often don’t get any all year! Driving in the snow doesn’t concern me since I don’t drive, so I can just enjoy looking at it. It’s very pretty. :)
