computer meltdown

[electricalgwen]

On Tuesday, I left my laptop plugged in and working fine, when I went to get Elder Son from school. We dropped by the library, came home, I fed the baby, made supper... and discovered my hard drive had gone off the rails. Terminal, irretrievable meltdown. It's just out of warranty, and although I do back-up fairly regularly, I hadn't done so since before we went away for the summer - having been uploading all the holiday photos, updating my CV, and writing. Argh.

Posting from the local library at the moment, but I can't read or post fic from here. Not sure when I'll be back online, but please know I'm not ignoring you. :)

Oh no! I hope your documents/work can be recovered!

Thanks for your concern! I've got a functioning computer again now. I've managed to retrieve a lot of them - and, in a neatly ironic twist given all the recent deletion worries, I was able to pull a few unarchived fics off LJ. :)
