    "(...) My answer is simple: never rely on proprietary software. I don't use Lifeblog, or any other "digital life management" solutions. (...)

  • ChristianLindholm.com: Fragility of Digital Life

    Rated Mar 16 2008 • 1 review • software • christianlindholm.com

    Christian Lindholm points out a problem that is becoming more and more pertinent as more and more people engage in digital lifelogging:

    "(...) led me to export all my 30.000 items out of Lifeblog (...) a digital archive is vulnerable, I have made decent back-up's of my Lifeblog, have some in London, some in Finland on several HD's etc. still I feel extremely fragile. (...) I am sure most people are worse prepared than I am, the funny thing is I do not think people think about it until the hard disk crashes. (...)"
