ARGH!
Spent a while last night on wave being all happy and funny, making jokes and adding comments. Then something happened (to either wave or my browser or the university internet) that unsynced wave and undid all I'd just done, which put me in a bad mood, and I didn't feel like being happy and funny all over again, and my blood sugar level was low, so I yanked my flash drive and stormed out of the library in a huff, and went home to have a 1/4 bottle of port and loose consciousness at 9pm.
This morning I awoke at 5am, quite happy. Shower, breakfast, coffee and a book for a few hours before heading out, went by Oxfam Books and bought three new Jules Verne books which I'm looking forward to with great anticipation. Then I headed into Uni to work on my Dynamics team project and MY FLASH DRIVE IS CORRUPT! I've been using it for everything: internet/camera pictures/important uni documents (as the uni computers reformat themselves after every logoff). I made a backup but that was at least a week ago, I think before Virtual Instrumentation Programming so there's a chance I've lost everything I need to submit by tomorrow. Besides, the backup is on my laptop, which I can't get on 'till I buy another power supply.
I think my technical despair must be a form of homesickness.

That's what you get for living with Luddites. If the Uni web is good enough you might wanna try Google Docs or something. Saves you worrying about backups and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteSounds like disaster - is there no way to make it virtuous again?
ReplyDeleteI've been out of uni for nearly three years and that story resulted in me having a momentary freak-out right here in the flat..
ReplyDeleteMy last backup was only a week and a half ago, LUCKILY on the last day of Virtual Instrumentation Programming. I just need to re-do what I've done since then (which includes a few instances I can remember where I really got my head down and did some hard work).
