I am cursed. Truly, cursed.
My computer crashed today; for the final time, it seems. I'm going to try to get a second opinion, but it looks like I'll probably lose everything I worked on since the last major backup... for AGP stuff, that means mid-March!
Well, except for Tell Qa, thank goodness. I backed that sucker up multiple times, every freaking day. However, as I can't do my final edit on it at work (which is where I am posting this from), it might be a few days before I can get another computer up and running, get the final edit done, and send it off to Peter. Puts me a couple days behind, but everything should still fit in the timeline. I will, however, probably lose the last few extra bits I set aside for future expansion on Tell Qa, as I didn't back up the "cut stuff" folder for a week... I meant to before I left for GTS, but never got around to it, dammit.
Also fortunately (after a fashion) as I'd been working feverishly to get Tell Qa done before GTS, I hadn't worked on anything else since early March, which means everything else should be backed up OK. And then, I'm not 100% sure I've lost everything on the hard drive yet; gotta see what can be recovered.
Now to just find another computer... the thing that really sucks about this is if I have to buy a new one, it means I have to get Vista, which makes XP seem like freaking heaven, from what I've heard. Maybe I'll just go with a Mac, though I dunno if I can afford to buy a whole new production suite, too (though I probably have to do that for Vista, as well... grrrr...)
