More computer issues...

General
Okay, my computer officially is having a bad month. And I've figured out why. Turns out my 10 year old IDE drive was dying, and that was causing all sorts of data corruption on my other(SATA) hard drives. This time it ate my boot drive - usually a much easier recovery then your home drive on Linux. All you have to do is reinstall your operating system. All your personal settings and files are kept in your home drive.
But noooo! This failing piece of hardware was(unbeknownst to me) interfering with my IDE CD drive too! Which just happened to be slaved to it. You'd think I'd have figured that one out easily. Not so. It took me two days of fighting with my computer before I remembered lesson number 1 from my computer repair class: If all else fails, starting taking stuff out of the computer until it works again. I could have had this fixed days ago - days I could have spent working on the next game post, I might add. *grumble*
Still, it is mostly fixed now(still have a few programs to reinstall) and I'll see if I can find the time to draw a little later today...

Glad to hear you're making progress though! Fingers crossed that you've got it all sorted out now. :)
