Both laptop and desktop are periodically backed up to external drives (separate drives for each system). Eventually, I'll probably store those drives in my desk at work, but for now they're on a shelf.
I've got a co-located server in another state, the github master repository, and a checkout on my work computer. My HTPC has a copy as well (also RAID 1), just to provide another machine to test on.
I know it's excessive, but I really don't want to try to use the "hard drive ate my homework" excuse. I knew people in undergrad who used that one, and it sounded lame even then.
As far as the cache-line software goes, it could come in handy for profiling the CPU decoder. The reference VP8 decoder does force alignment to certain boundaries on many of its structures, but I haven't seen any work on cache line boundary detection (it may have happened, I just haven't seen it).
