Back in 2006 or so, I had a hard drive failure and lost… a lot. Our good pal DaveL was able to recover a lot of it for us, but some things were unrecoverable. Most of the recoverable stuff? Shortpacked! And so large amounts of that were fine, though me having to recreate a lot of it is why the first few books came out at a crawl. But, uh, yeah, um, I don’t have, like, most of the rest of this $100 Theater stuff. Not finished, anyway. I have, like, bare lineart. Which isn’t the worst, but I gotta re-dialogue it and recolor it. And, ahahaha, I’m supposed to be in Wyoming in a few days, so we’ll see how much I can piece back together and how much you get copy-pasted from the original website.
Is the quality of these on the original website really so awful that copy-and-pasting will be offensive to our eyes?
I went through like ten billion iterations of backing up all my stuff
I’m now at a point where out of sight, out of mind
…granted, I don’t have a remotely popular anything for anyone to care, as I broke up with my biggest fan, and like my next biggest fan died =(
(that feels like oversharing… sorry if it’s too much of a downer, I was feeling a bit lonely since my next biggest fan got banned from Twitter, so idk what to do with myself)
Where do you publish your stuff?
Link in mah name!
(I’ve gone through like a billion different relocations, and despite everything Tumblr is the easiest to use at this point with my perpetual lack of spoons)
We need to get you more fans, stat! Are you accepting applications?
haha dang, I stopped actively pursuing them long ago bc it feels like so much maintenance work
like, fans get pretty hungry, and all those mouths to feed, yikes
I had a hard drive failure on the computer I used about ten years ago, and ever since then I try to remember to back up anything on my current computer that I don’t want to lose.
I remember I was having hard drive failures so often (turned out my Western Digital 20 GB HD didn’t play well with Windows) back in the early 00’s. Now I have external backup drives. Anything on any of the PC’s in the house that I think I might want to keep gets backed up on them. Too late for a lot of my files from about 2002 to 2008, but better late than never, I guess?
To clarify; around 2002-ish, I was having to reformat my hard drive at least once or twice a day, due to file corruption. After I replaced that hard drive, the problem went away, but I still had fatal OS crashes every once in awhile until about 2008 or so. After I started using external backups, the only time I’ve had to reinstall my OS was was I upgraded from Windows 10 back to Windows 7.
I’ll be in Montana come tomorrow. I’ll wave in your direction
