You know how they say there are two kinds of computer users, those who back up regularly and those who haven't lost any data yet?
It's true.
Sad, but true.

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

Oh no! You must be feeling pretty sick over it.
BTDT - I have back-up now. Actually, it happened to a co-worker: He accidentally deleted his entire "Jobs" folder. He was sweating bullets, because recovering an emptied trash can on a Mac is not as easy as on a PC. A tech did salvage what was there, but all the files had lost their original names and were no longer grouped in user-defined folders or properly linked to images. My co-worker had to open everything manually to see what he had.
I was feeling a bit stunned, I must admit - it was my backup external drive for photographs, which had, over a period of a couple of years, turned into my ONLY drive for photographs as I ran out of space ... and then got written over, accidentally. (Does it happen any other way?) All my photos!
Have done a data recovery thing and recovered quite a lot. I haven't checked it properly yet (it's a bit scary, and I haven't had time) but suspect the file name thing might have happened (yes, it's a Mac). But never mind. It was mostly birds, and the birds are still there, so I can take more! All my travel photos are also on CD (I transfer them to CD at Internet cafes while I'm travelling, to make sure I don't lose them) so they're safe.
Finding the bird story pictures will be interesting, though, if I ever decide to print them and need the originals. :-(
Ouch. That's terrible.
You have inspired me - I think I should go back up my photos while I still have them.
