For you Grad Students out there...

I bring an entertaining tale of "teh suck"

When Linda Cerniglia went back to school, it took her almost seven years to get through all the prerequisites, the labs, the research. And it took a thief just moments to grab her purse, with the only copy of her master's thesis stored on a tiny jump drive inside.

More located here.

Now, if that happened to you, would you do the same thing?

Shortly after my master's project (equal parts audio and writing, with more composition and engineering than research, so it couldn't properly be called a "thesis") was accepted by the committee, I went to take a look at it on a floppy disk... and the drive corrupted the disk. To this day, the only copies of the written portion of my master's project, including all of the full scores and MIDI cue sheets, are on paper. I'd like to re-create one of the longer pieces for my new über-band project, but that's going to be a pain in the ass.
