Life Lessons: Back Ya Sh!t Up

I hope my real life problem can be a good life lesson for you as it's made my life difficult this week....

The other night I was having problems with an iPhone app, so I decided up update it & a few others. This is where things went horribly wrong...

During the process of  updating, my phone froze. Gave it a reboot but it wouldn't go past the opening apple screen. Upon connecting to itunes I found my phone was now in recovery mode & needed to be restored. If I were a smart person, I would have regularly backed things up & this would've have been that big a deal....... Note, IF I were smart. In reality, I hadn't been backing up my phone. What's that? Why not, when there's iCloud so easily available. Well you see, I had been lazy on upgrading to iOS 5 and therefore did not have this available to me. So today's lesson: Back Ya Sh!t Up!..... and keeping up to date on software, probably smart as well.
