The computer's back.

Hi. I'm back, though I'll be off-line (except for stories) for the rest of this month - behind on a lot of computer-dependent homework, among other things.

We were very lucky. We lost a lot of data and the system is a wreck (i have visions of swabbing hurricane decks), but the hard drive survived. I was up all night cleaning up the mess, opening up randomly labeled ship-wrecked directories and squinting at incomprehensible lists of numbers that were once neatly labelled files.

You computer geeks will recognize the symptoms: yep. My file allocation table was over-written by Windows.

Welp - have to get back to mopping. *waves, shoulders virtual cleaning equipment and disappears, whistling.*

Yay! I'm so glad you are back and your hard drive survived! All good news.

Me too, and thank you. Boy. Sure was quiet around here.

Whoo hoo on the survival of the hard drive, suck on the FAT problem. Here's to hoping everything will soon be back to normal in the land of Icarus. ::crosses fingers::

All I have to do is catch up on the hauseaufgaben. And, uh, figure out what I've lost.

It turns out the tech guy was wonderful. He fixed everything for thirty buck, and even located the serial number for Word so he could reload it.

Yay, Bruce.

Sounds like you have your hands full, but at least it's not like you're totally starting over from scratch. I understand you've got more important things to do right now...like homework and stuff, but I just thought I'd let you know that I've been trying my best to wait patiently for all the smut promised for The Walls of Jerico, so I'll just sit here in the corner until you get your shit back together and have time to write, ok? Don't mind me...I'll stay out of the way, promise.

Wish I could just say "Hey! Got an extra mop? I'll help!" Oh well, I guess under the circumstances, it's the thought that counts, right? Good luck.
