Behind the scenes, I'm actively working on ramping up the amount, quality, and type of information I will provide on one of my own personal websites.. Reality hit maybe a year or so ago about the reasonably projected longevity of that work, though.. It depends directly on mine.. So.. One of the things I fully plan on doing is accommodating for it in my "will".. That doesn't ease the worry, though.. Say I do find someone willing to graciously take it and run with it upon my passing.. What happens to my precious baby website when that person then inevitably passes.....

Most of the stuff was recovered by two dedicated techies. But if you ask about a famous show like 'Peter and Dud'. When the BBC wiped the tapes clean as being of no further user. And this sort of idiocy is still happening to this day. It is a subject of which I frequently get irrational. It is difficult for me to hold back when I start on this.

And that's just over 20 years ago. Imagine the poor sods in 2109 trying to recover data from seized up hard disks and damaged DVDs. That bit about the BBC’s Doomsday Project in 1986 is sobering.
