GOT MY COMPUTER BACK
11 years ago
Welcome to the Eastern Dragon's Journal of Sarieu, where you'll find rants, raves, and everything else in between......mostly random stuff lol.
I have the worst luck ever!
So my computer was acting up towards the end of the year. For the most part, it wasn’t a problem, I would just have to wait for the thing to boot up and then I could work on all my work. It would only take about 2 hours so I would turn the thing on and then walk away for a bit. That was going on for a while and it didn’t really bother me until it started getting worse. After a while, the computer would take 3 hours to warm up, then 4, and then it got all the way up to at least 5 hours. It was crazy, it would lag and then I would try to work on art and the programs would just lag so badly that it would freeze everything. So unless I waited for it warm up completely, then it would just freak out and nothing would come out right. I would turn it on before work and then come home to it and everything would be great. But then it got worse.
I went to go work on my art work and I couldn’t even get my programs to load. I would open up Sai and then it would freak out and shut down the program. Other times it would load and then after a period of time it would freak out again and crash. I was losing all my progress on my sketches and line work and it was awful. I was even trying it in Photoshop and the same thing was happening. I couldn’t get any of my work done and I was losing all my progress. It got to the point where I couldn’t work on anything but I didn’t have enough for a new computer. Then my cousin approached me, he’s an I.T man at offices and works on building computer for a living. He told me he would fix it up for me and get it back to me as soon as possible. Said he would have it back to me in a few days. That was in December……..So I waited for it but shortly after a week was up, HE TOOK OFF TO HAWAII AND DIDN’T TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I contacted him, he told me that I would get it as soon as he got back from visiting his family. Told me it wouldn’t be long. So I waited and waited and waited and nothing! It got to the point where I was getting so angry and I didn’t know how to contact people that ordered pieces from me. I put all my contact info and orders in my computer and threw out the paper form (I know, that was really stupid of me, learned my lesson). So then I went to log on to my websites by my phone because I didn’t have access to a computer but every time I did that, my phone would just crash and shut itself off. IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!
So I finally just got my computer back yesterday. He had to wipe the hard completely clean so that he could get it to work. He saved all the files that I had on a backup drive so I didn’t lose a lot of things but some stuff didn’t transfer over right. I spent the last day working on getting my programs up and running so that I could get back to working on my artwork. For those of you waiting on things, I am truly sorry and I’m working on getting those to you right away.
I’M SO SORRY EVERYONE!

Anyway, hope that gets you back into the swing of things! If our schedules ever line up again I'm really dying for another art day with you (I SWEAR I WILL DO ART)
:3
Glad you got your computer back though, probably would have been faster to break into his house while he was away. :p Lol
