It was kind of a lousy Sunday.
My desktop computer crashed: hard crash, the kind of crash that requires a reinstalled operating system. I still have zero idea why this happened, either.
I didn't particularly enjoy solving this problem on my day off. But I thought I handled it pretty well - given that the system "restore" program that I got to run on my desktop was in Korean!
And in fact, I can take some further pride in the fact that, because of my now deep-seated backup habits, I lost exactly one week's worth of stuff. Nothing more - no lost novels, this time, no lost photography archives or lost masses of scanned pictures or lost music collections. Basically nothing lost - one week's worth of notes for a story, about half a page, that I had started and probably never would have finished, anyway, and a few photos, half of which are already included in this blog anyway. Everything else was backed up on spare hard drives or my server.
So for that, I feel grateful. But not so much for the lost day. I hate computers.
