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.

It's the pics that have me most worried. At least I've got backup of everything to about August.
