I was going to blog tonight about either ‘Shutter Island’ or the video game I had just finished, ‘Splinter Cell Conviction’. However, since last night I discovered it’s been a year since I backed up my smartphone, I figured I would get that out of the way. As soon as I hooked up the phone, I saw it couldn’t automatically find the device driver. That was the point at which I should have realized things might go bad, very very bad. Once I got my computer to recognize the phone, and set up a partnership, or so I thought, I figured I was all set to kick off ActiveSync and let it do it’s thing. It started backing up items, or so it seemed, until it got about 80% of the way done, where it remained. Since there didn’t seem to be any other available option, I just unplugged the phone, so I could try again. Big mistake, big big mistake. While most of the items were still on the phone, I saw that my previous 2 Outlook email accounts weren’t there, which clued me in to see what else was missing. All in all, it only retained 5 phone number /email address contacts, out of over 100. So, I am going to be spending the next week sending out random emails, asking for you contact info again (if I had it before).
