Downtime.

#1 Post by PyTom »

Had a major hard drive crash last night. Only a few hours of email were lost, but it looks like I won't be doing any work on Ren'Py for a few days, until I can get a new drive and restore everything from backup.

Just an FYI.

Today is not a really good day.

What luck! To have it on April Fools Day too. Trust the Cosmic Joker to pull something like this... <.<'

That's bad, I did a full backup just a week ago, because my HDD is also ageing, and I realized how much could be lost. Anyway, good luck with file recovery.

Windows XP decided to be a pain-in-the-[you-know-what] and reset my twinview settings overnight. I hate it when that happens... :evil:

good luck with the recovery, PyTom

Oh, I had a backup as of late last night. So nothing of value was lost. (Knock on wood-colored plastic.)
