Aw, spit.

Generally, I carry a flash drive with me between my apartment and the office. (Actually, I carry several, but then I'm a compulsive packrat. MacGyver would have a field day with my briefcase.)

The flash drive I'm talking about contains my portable-apps suite, with Firefox, Thunderbird, and travelling copies of a bunch of files. If I spot something at work that I want to bring home, a PDF or an Internet bookmark, that flash drive is where it goes.

Now, I'm generally good about not keeping files in just one place - paranoid about backup would be closer to the truth - but there were about three or four bookmarks and a couple or three files that I hadn't remembered to offload from the flash drive.

So I was a little dismayed when I plugged the flash drive into my office computer this morning, and it read as a blank, unformatted drive.

Insert profanities here.

:winces: Ouch. But, on the positive side, you've reminded me that I need to replace my definitely-on-the-way-out USB pen drive...
