Totally OT - I need some heads up (and a hug or two)

Hey Malte,

Here's a hug from San Francisco.. Very sorry for your machine and 
data loss. I live in fear of such a scenario..

I am so paranoid about losing stuff..
1) work from home, and I'm always here (hermit?)
2) Time machine is always  running, 2nd 500g drive in the G5
3) Bootable backups of main machine using Foldersynchronizer every week

-- my projects are completely contained in a MacOSX .app  package, 
'splash screen'
--    and I work on the stacks  "in situ" ; in place.
4) I use "Touch" every day on the .app package
5) Project .app package with all scripts and resources uploaded to 
local server every day
6) I have a handler in my development sandbox that "tars", then 
"zips" the .app package, then uploads to a directory at dreamhost. I 
call this every day.

Still, with all of this, I've had panic moments, losing a stack I 
worked on all day that didn't have it's own file, somehow got 
detached and lost in space (substacks... not anymore). I looked 
everywhere for quite a while until I found a stack that I had 
forgotten I had saved.
