notebook

quick thoughts on backup and encryption

Backup
Many folks around the casa carry more wifi-enabled gadgets than undergarments.
If you actually get creative and they're not for consuming only, a backup over internet (or by mailing DVDs to a nomad base, to be all 90ies) is highly recommended.
There're still precious analogue notebooks to loose (sorry to bring this up Robino ;), there's no need this happens to your digital stuff as well.
Speaking of creativity, if yours is wasted on the WWW anyway, make sure you have decent a backup concept for your blog / website / flickr pool instead of relying on a company.

shit luck

I just realized that I can't seem to find my hitchhiking notebook anywhere. I've somewhere, somehow lost it.

My hitchhiking notebook is an unlined white notebook full of signs, destinations I've hitchhiked in the past 6 months, over two continents and innumerable locations.

It had a lot of sentimental value and stories attached to it (obviously), and as it was full, I was planning to scan its pages in at CasaRobino before I left, but the scanners were not yet working. Some of the signs were nice drawings, and I wanted a way to preserve them.
