I thought my two original ssds had failed. Nope! Wow! So I’ve now got 5 ssds backed up including the dinky little one my OS is on. I was able to wipe the boot partition on the one I used for so much of my work which means I’ve finally managed to work my way back in time to that point where I bought the ssd that developed bad sectors. Which is great.

I’m still at a bit of a loss as to what computer I used between the fire and my current build. Definitely used some little netbooks, but I spotted a tower that rings a bell but I won’t have the info. It might be in a receipt as it would have been part of a bulk replacement of… all our electronics.

Anyway, I’m excited as I’ve found my full notes for my first Anne of Cleves presentation and probably a much better system of how I organised my research. With so many copies now of the same files I can take it easy and stop stressing because it really has been so difficult.
