So, everything is pretty much back in place after the unfortunate events of the weekend. I'm redrawing the work I lost (which is very depressing), and preparing the way for the next job.

Lindsay and the kids are back today after a long weekend at the grandparents. I was supposed to use the time to clear out some work so that Lindsay's last two weeks of maternity leave would be largely free of work interruptions. It seems that certainly won't be the case now, which is annoying.

Damned PCs.

Other than that, my house is a mess, and I really need to get on top of it before Lindsay goes back to work. Somehow, I get a feeling that won't happen either.

Hard lines, man. Ever since I got up one morning and my computer simply wouldn't boot from the HD, with a finished job for WotC sat on it, and half a books worth finished for Warhammer Historical I learned my lesson. External hard drive, and back up everything I do on a daily basis.

Another art dude I know has 3 external hard drives as insurance. Losing work sucks.

Yeah, you think I'd have learned the lesson last time this happened a couple of years back. Did I though?

Apparently not.

Bah!

But 3 external drives?! That sounds a bit like overkill to me. I think one will have to do.

:)

And did you ever get that lost work back?

Yeah luckily my HD decided to comply shortly after. No idea what it was all about - the mysteries of computers eh? It would have been murder to redo all the work...

Yeah, it is.

;)

On that, I really need to get back to work again. I hear my PC a-calling.
