Here's irony for you

So my hard drive just bought the farm. I always tell people to back up their data, and fortunately I was smart enough to listen to my own advice. In fact I wrote my own backup program because I wasn’t fond of the existing solutions.

Pat on the back, right? Unfortunately the most recent backup is about a month old, so I’ve lost some recent work. The irony is of course that the recent work I lost was a major refactoring of the backup program.
