Characters: David Walkerton, Joyce Brown
Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment
Around this point in time, I tried out a new handwriting font that had upper and lower case letters. I quickly decided against using it, for whatever reason. But I used it here for the giggling. I don’t have the font anymore! Maybe I lost it in a hard drive transfer, I dunno. Not sure what happened to it.
Comic: My wedding was a struggle not to replicate panels 2 and 3
Like, idk, the seriousness of it was bizarrely funny
Commentary: I have a lot of things that vanished just from my failure to maintain a good organizational system. Also, my cloud backup service spontaneously cancelled my program as unprofitable and I may or may not have bothered to re-backup everything I put there.
That is why I don’t trust cloud-based backups. Not because the technology doesn’t work (it does, very well) – because the companies who run them can just be like “fuck you” and delete your stuff if they want to.
A-yup. I only trust good old LTO tape to keep my data safe.
And hoarding. *Glares at boxes in the closet labeled “old hard drives” and “floppies”, the contents of which date back to the late 80s*
Ah, the joys of CrashPlan.
If it’s not backed up on punch cards, is it really even backed up? Better get a hardcopy printout to go with it, too.
I don’t trust the on-line services because I prefer to have a tighter rein on who has access to my data. My computer may be vulnerable, but I’m this tiny speck on the internet, whereas the cloud backup, and cloud file hosting, services are giant neon targets, which may, and likely does, outweigh the excellent in-house infosec team they might employ. It’s the difference between robbing a house for its fire safe and hitting a bank for its safety deposit vault, except I’m not convinced their vault isn’t all that much better than the drywall I have in my house.
The font with uppercase and lowercase letters just looks too weird for your comics.
They look weird in most comics except the ones that don’t attempt to replicate hand-lettering.
Yes, even you, Ultimate Marvel.
I had a similar reaction to my wedding the following morning. That and sex. Lots of sex.
Free tip kiddies, don’t try and force yourselves to consummate the night of. You’ll be very tired and likely very drunk. Get a good night’s sleep so you can go at it properly in the morning. 😉
I had a blast the night of, but then again, it wasn’t my first time (far far from it), I wasn’t all that drunk, and I was wearing a corset which I found sexy as hell.
