Well its been a long time coming, but its finally happened. To be short, I have been working on a series of books, none to grand, but worth the work I put into them. I created world maps, character portraits, songs, seasons, eras, detailed plots, cities, towns, languages, and so forth. Well. It seems fate would have its last laugh against me and about a month or so ago my hard drive failed and perhaps has gone the way of all things fair. Which leaves six years worth of work lost, but not forgotten as it still lingers in my mind. My old computer was a 500mhz amd with 390 some megs of ram, a 16 meg diamond viper video card, with a 15" monitor (updated awhile back to a 17"). Now all has been made wonderful with the lastest part, the brain of my creation, a 2400+ 2.1 gig athlon processor with over 500 megs (would have been over 600 but someone wanted one of the memory sticks) or ram, and a recently updated 64 meg GeForce II video card. Although to some of you this is not all THAT grand, to me.....it is monster of power! I could land very very small satellites with this beast, instead of remote control cars! However, one test still remains.........has the hard drive completely died, or is it in a coma, capable of being resuscitated? If so, then all my goods are safe and can be extracted, and if not....then I am going to trebuchet my poor hard drive into a wall. Twice. Maybe three. Maybe ten. Maybe until I've broken it into many many many pieces. Then step on the pieces. Then go sleep for awhile.
