is this bad business or what? i think its bad. i mean, do i have to go nagging him for the work i paid for? shouldnt he hit me up telling me he's late again?
i'm getting pissed, about to ask for refund and go with someone else

Not good.
OK - shit can happen and code can get destroyed, but that is his problem and "may" be an indication of ineptitude. No programmer on this planet needs to lose a whole project even if media or whatever screws up - any programmer "should" have complete copies of their work at every stage.
He's now overdue for delivery again. Only my

but suspect it's time for a generous 7 day ultimatum or a refund check in the post.
