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.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Not the Ultraviolet vid! Please, let's hope you're able to recover that.

In better news, yay for Pros. :-D

I'd wondered what you've been up to. You've been awfully quiet!

Condolences on the computer front. (Although, it will be fun to have a new one! *g*)

Congratulations on the Pros novel! That's terrific. Well done! And whew! *g*

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?

Keeping everything crossed that the data isn't lost.

First Mac? Welcome to the dark side. ;-)

And I can't wait to read your novel! Who's going to be publishing it?

My desktop did exactly that a couple of years ago. I turned it on and nothing. My sonny boy did recover everything from the HD, so I hope yours went to cyberheaven the same way.

New vid? New Pros? I'm praying with you! I'm free to beta if you need a hand although I'm sure you have much better qualified folks on hand. *g*

oh noes!

Your computer isn't that old is it? Seems like just yesterday you were going on about how shiny and new it was.

Hope your data is okay. I guess that is my cue to go and do a backup of my machine.
