I could cry.


I spent about the last hour working in Photoshop on a picture that I was drawing entirely by mouse. I drew a barebones sketch, and then the picture itself, freeform with brush. I had just started working on drawing it properly with the polygonal lasso when there was a powersurge, and I. Lost. The. Whole. Thing. Every bit, byte, and nybble. I had not saved.


Illapa, you are a cruel god.

I know. It was awful.

I just started trying to draw it again, and I have the sketches done. I started the "proper" drawing, but it's just not the same. :(

I don't know you at all, I was just reading Cabellicious' friends page, but dear God, I can sympathize. I'm so sorry to hear about your picture- I've been there. My hand is now trained to Ctrl-S manuever about every 30 seconds, whether I need to or not.

Yeah, 'twas pretty awful. I don't know what got into me - usually I'm pretty good at saving my work. :/

Saving is good.

A UPS is essential if you're going to be doing anything important on your computer though.
Mine's saved my work several times.

I usually do! I should know better than that.

What's a UPS?

UPS = Uninteruptable Power Supply AKA Battery Backup power for your computer.

Basically they are little battery filled boxes that plug into the power point and into your computer that mean that when the power spikes or dies your computer doesn't die.

They regulate current in a spike and provide you with (generally) a few minutes up to half an hour to save your stuff and shut down if you loose power totally.

Ah, okay. That sounds like a wise thing to invest in. Damn, but I need money.
