Losing it

I am feeling pretty bummed. Someone stole my laptop from my car. Admittedly it was coming to the end of its useful life - where my hands rested when I type all of the metal finish had worn down the bare plastic. It is very distinctive wear. I don't know how useful it will be - it is password protected.

Luckily I had only recently backed all of my data - not something I am famous for doing. So, unlucky and laucky in the same breath.

It has been a day of hustling to get a computer and software to put a presentation together for a major client. Still, mission accomplished. Phew.

Leaving valuables in view in your car is dumb. Not locking is dumberer.
