Update on computer situation
3 years ago
Should have done this sooner but I forgot to.
The long and short of it is that I'm still waiting on the data recovery of my external hard drive. It's not looking too good, though that doesn't mean it's not possible, just that it requires an intensive process that involves a sterile environment and hazmat suits.
No, I'm not kidding.
This could take up to eight weeks before I hear anything back from them. Best case scenario is that everything gets transferred to the new hard drive I provided them but I also need to prepare for only a partial recovery. Word files are the highest priority, followed by images. Everything else can be replaced, though plenty would be lost to the void since I have less than a perfect memory. At the very least, if the worst case happens and they can't recover anything, at least I'll get a refund on everything but the initial diagnois; I hope it doesn't come to that because I'll have to restart several projects from scratch, reset every password, and basically have way more work than with even just a partial recovery.
All this is, of course, the reason I haven't updated my gallery with any new content. I'll post another journal when I hear back from them. I think I have about six more weeks before I hear back from them again.
