Well, Darn

[przed]

Went to turn on my computer tonight, and it's dead. As in a doornail. Forget about the spinning beach ball of death, it's not even powering up.

Sigh.

I had it in the shop a couple of months ago, and they told me the CPU was living on borrowed time, but I was hoping to get a few more months out of it. Looks like I'll be getting a shiny new Mac Pro sooner rather than later.

Fingers crossed the hard drives are intact and I didn't lose any data, 'cause it's a couple of months since I did a proper backup, and all my photos of Ros are on the bloody thing. Also fingers crossed that the Ultraviolet vid I've been working on for a ridiculous amount of time is recoverable.

At least I always send copies of stories I'm working on to my gmail account, so they're safe. And I've got my work laptop to tide me over till I can get the new machine in place.

Double sigh.

In other, better new, I finally finished what I hope is the last big set of changes on my Pros novel today. So, yay for that.

Sorry to hear about the computer (though a Mac Pro sure sounds nice!) and I hope the hard drives haven't taken a hit!

A new Pros novel? :)
Is it going to be a zine or online?

I've been looking at the Mac Pros for six months. And wishing that I'd bought one of the bloody things in September like I was planning on.

The novel will definitely be a zine. (I've spent wayyyyy too long on it to simply put it online. Plus, I've tentatively lined up a fabulous illustrator. *eg*)
