I Operate my own self contained Network because their firewall restrictions do not even allow me to view any kind of website that has to do with network securityor anything that looks like a student who might be trying to bypass the school security and proxy. needless to say I've paid for my own Internet even know internet part of our stipendand operated independent of them for years because of my need to be able to access information freeLy. so I lost my hard drive, my raId array is corrupted beyond repair. for the past 8 years I had an agreement with the old IT department. they had set up a sEvure ethernet Bridgethat back up my nas on a secondary network controller since my other equipment was not allowed on their domain. well too no knowledge of mine this summer they came in and replaced all the equipmentfor their network because they have a completely new IT administration and hEad of it. I was never informed that the bridge no longer backs up my NAS. all the equipment is still in place so I did not know anything changed but nowthat Bridge on fortunately does not go anywhere needless to say I lost all my data and I've been trying the best commercial recovery softwarebut the corruption is so bad it's a total loss. all my pictures documents etc cetera gone. I've been awake for 2&a half days straight. to top it all off I lost my cell phone the lightning strike as well. so right now I've been typing all of this my voice commandon a new unfamiliar cell phone so I do apologize if some of this does not make sense I cannot type long post like this on that tiny little cell phone keyboard. I'm going to try to take a little nap and then I'll get back to you. life just found a good way to kick my ass while I was already down in the dirt.
