One Step Forward One Step Back

[kristen999]

This is an odd tech failure. According to my saved files, I did not write anything last night. My conclusion chapter had a 'last modified date of April, 16th' and not April, 17th. I save my work every new paragraph and usually save it again to my flash drive. Of course the world stuck its tongue out at me an Eric had it over at a friend's house.

I ran a recovery program for any lost files and nothing was shown as being deleted yesterday. I ran search and only found the file from Monday.

So, despite saving the damn thing at least a dozen times as I wrote, all my progress from yesterday is lost. But I'd be damned on how Office ate it.

Ronon and John are not amused.

One of my friends had a file she composed in Word turn into an Excel file. I've had Word eat files off a flash drive.

I now write on a Mac.

I really like Macs, but I can't aford one and they're very hard to fix. While they break less often, if they do, my husband can't repair it himself like he can with our computer.

Come on Lotto! :D
