Just lost my flash drive...

Just looked all over my house for this damn thing and could not find it... I don't think it is at my house either. I am hoping I didn't leave it at the school. Blah!! Oh shi... I probably did, in the computer lab. I remember opening word and like... probably starting something. Jesus christ. I left it in the comp lab, hopefully my college is full of cool people and they didn't steal it. :'( Maybe I didn't. But I am quite confident that I left it in the computer lab otherwise I wouldn't have opened word. :'(

God damn.. You ever lose a flash drive? This one was 8GB, had all my papers and POOF... Papers only on my HDD at home now. Blah... Back to gmail storage.

I work in the comp lab at my college, and one day I found a flash drive that had literally all of some guy's personal info. SSN, bank numbers and PINs, user/pass for cell phone, cable, utility, employment/residence history, etc... All in a text file called 'info' in the root of the drive. I didn't think anyone that ignorant existed - that's info I wouldn't keep even on my home PC.

Sometimes stupid people make me 🙁

Suprisingly, Google Docs has been extremely useful in doing work away from my home computer. I tend not to use USBs anymore much but used to swear by them so much before. Either google docs or do in MS Word and email it to yourself in gmail 🙂

It keeps a copy on all of your computers and the central server. That would only give you a problem if you haven't synced a computer in a while - booted up and had no internet.
 
So much whining in this thread.

Buy another flash drive. Create a TrueCrypt volume on it. If you need to save something personal, mount the volume, do whatever you need to, and then dismount it. Non-confidential stuff goes directly on the flash drive. Then have a script that backs up your flash drive to your hard drive. Either run it manually periodically, or schedule a script (nightly or some such) to check to see if the drive is present, and if it is, copy it all to the hard drive, compress the contents into a single file, and then rename the compressed file with the timestamp of the backup for future reference.

It's not that hard, folks.

It's not like my papers need to be protected. 😵

I never found the drive.. I asked the library and everyone, I guess someone stole it.

I was speaking in response to the responses to your OP, rather than to your OP directly.
