Technology hates me.

icepixieGuess what I spent last night doing.
If you guessed "trying to ressurect a dead, deader, deadest hard drive," you win the big prize. Yeah, my laptop's hard drive? Completely dead. Beyond dead. Not interested in being found or starting up or doing anything at all.
Luckily for me, I have a complete backup of my hard drive on my firewire drive. Done this week, in fact, since the HD has been making those awful "flipflipflipflipflipI'mgoingtodiesoon" noises for a while. So all I lost was a few photos that weren't very good anyway, and maybe half a page each on two of my entries for Advanced Fiction, which should be easy enough to recreate.
*big sigh of relief*
The super secret Mac lab in the basement of the library even has nice, modern Macs with multiple Firewire ports, so I can actually retrieve all the files I saved this week to work on while ye old laptop gets shipped home for repair. Best of all, it is super secret, so there is never anybody down here. Brilliant. So yes, I will be living here for the next week, I think. Which means I may be able to keep up with the flist, but probably not, so don't expect to see me around much. I still love you all, though. ;P
