And while in I've not heard of it before, it's not a bad idea[^]
So, have YOU backed up recently?
Have you tested it?
Go on - you know you want to!

Well, my breakfast is backing up at this very minute just thinking about what could happen...

Ever heard ISO 9002? We have someone to do that (full time job, and not only on 1st of April )
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I reckon that ISO 9002 was deprecated in 2000?

You right it's 9001:2008 now...

Back that a.s..s up 
Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors.

Only my NAS and my VM host's virtual hard drive files get backed up. I don't spread files all over the rest of my machines.
The whole lot gets backed up with a simple robocopy.exe mirror batch file at least weekly on a hard drive (bought in a pair) that otherwise stays on my desk disconnected the rest of the time. The second drive is at the office and gets rotated once a month.

My boss and I share a trait of being heavily bad tempered. Almost into a point of getting loud at a verbal argument against one piece of code.
Recently I lost my temper and smashed my personal laptop after a few coding mistakes and frustration buildup on the coding source engine I was doing for fun.
So here's my question...
Is it just me? Or are there really just a lot of developers with bad tempers?
Edit: I think it really boils down to how I'm being handled on my projects and work. if the clients have a decent attitude towards me then I'm acceptable to them, otherwise if not, then I grit my teeth and work with it. I think my temper is ill only once there's been a lot of stress. If all is well and well-maintained then I'm happy as can be.
I really love my job, but sometimes it's hard to accept that these guys are willing to break rules just to get on my nerves.
Opinions on this?

Did you apply your sig to the lappie?
And don't you wish you'd won the lappie sleeve?
I'm pretty placid, it takes a lot to get me annoyed - but then The Red Mist descends, and I tend to be rather... Um... Overzealous...
Doesn't happen often - not that I can remember in the lasts fifteen years at least.

I think it's mainly a patience worn out. Surprisingly these short bursts of aggression and anger don't last long.
Before I came in, my boss' laptop was being completely slow. he smashed the hard drive in such a state that the hard drive needed replacing. Eventually, when I became part of the project team, he handed the laptop down to me in a slightly better state. I've been taking good care of it, but I think my patience is much better on a professional line.
Personally, I can get mad very quick due to a short attention span (and I have Attention Deficit Disorder, which makes things worse) and my patience wears thin. I can keep it in to a certain point, but it always has to get out somehow.

Don't get me wrong. I love my job as a database dev. It's one of the jobs in which I can actually focus in.
Patience wades thin often when you have to deal with stupid or arrogant clients, and you just have to breathe deep and take it all in.
I only let loose on a personal level though.

May I remind you of an often quoted retailing quip "the customer is always right".
Unfortunately stupid or arrogant clients come part and parcel with this job. If you can't deal with them tell your manager and try to stay out of the way.
If your technical skills are above average they will put a buffer in the way so you don't have to deal with clients directly.
P.S. - breaking a laptop because your code won't compile is a sign that you are under more pressure than you can handle in a healthy manner. You may want to find a less stressful line of work.
