gnnnh. (more real life stuff.)
I should have gone to bed at four am, actually went to bed at six thirty, and was woken up at seven because i still need to pack shit because we're moving the last of the furniture tomorrow.
D: WAIT WHAT NOT EVEN HALF MY SHIT IS PACKED UP.
Also the adress switch for the phone line is almost instantaneous, but the internet is gonna take "a few days". *commences withdrawal* nnnnnnnoooo. ToT
... maybe that will make me write... hahaha i kid. *eyes piles of "to read at some point" e-books warily*
Bah, my time is going to be pretty full what with actually moving in that place and deciding where I want the furniture to go and shit, so I doubt I'll have any time left to do either.
T^T my home noez.
Sorry I haven't been replying to many comments, I'm kind of out of sorts between the return from vacation backlog and the moving and the sleep deprivation. I lose and suck. *flops*
Somehow what hurts the most (with the loss of my pretty trees-with-a-few-houses landscape view and the gain of an ugly up-slope and a line of garages blocking half of the sky) is that I'm gonna have to throw out my first two computers. Especially the prehistoric Apple MacIntosh, seeing as, as of now, he is a very imposing dustbunny fortress of massive dustbunnitude, towering over my room from the lofty heights of my big cupboard.
Also known to moonlight as a high-tech paperweight.
But in his slow, buggy, ridiculously useless entrails, he still holds 80 pages of my first ever novella. And twelve years later I still cannot help but cling to the hope that one day I will find some cyber-paleontologist who will know how to retrieve data from its methuselahian hard-drive. (did they even have hard drives back in the day? It was probably all encrypted onto a tablet of granite.)
Of course, the actual likelihood that I will grows more unlikely from year to year -- from day to day! -- especially since I'm too lazy to actually LOOK and a couple of very coolly professional computer techs burst out laughing in my face upon mention. But in the meantime, it's a bit like having my own Schrodinger's Sue. Is it recoverable? Is it not? As long as I keep being so half-assed about finding out, there's still a chance it is.
I suspect the question I should be asking is "should it be recovered?"
And since Mom's giving me a lift to the garbage dump and some help maneuvering his corpse down the stairs, I guess this is a HAHAHAno hint from destiny.
Hasta la vista, macPomme. Hasta la vista.

1) Find 3 and a quarter inch floppies, and copy the file/files onto it.
2) Stick it in an older computer than can burn CDs (or has email, even), but will still support those disks. We had a Performa from 1995 that worked for this.
3) Pick up the email/put the CD in your new computer.
If there's any going from Mac to PC, you're going to need to use SimpleText, and the formatting will probably be gone, but it'll work.

It's okay. u.u

Hmm... if you can find a similar version with a working monitor, maybe try prying the case open. You'd only need it temporarily, so you could more or less wreck it. I have no idea how these things work, only that I've seen Macs work with Lego cases.

(besides it's already at the garbage dump XD;;; )
thank you, though ^^

I can't imagine what would happen if my house burnt down and took my feeble excuses for fiction away from me- it would be like losing a piece of my soul. O_O
On a lighter note, no one expects you to write when you're in the middle of a move- we'll hit you with a wall of unanimous complaints AFTER you're finished. ^_^

Oh man did it hurt back then. I cried like a bitch. But nowadays I burn my fics and pics semi-regularly so I'd never lose everything like that again.
:D -- D:

Pretty sure the plot sucked anyway. I mean dude, just because I'd suddenly discovered that the slashy side pairing was so much more interesting than the main Sue+Stu OTPfest didn't mean I needed to knock her up because that was the only plot I could be bothered to think up for her. The gay guys got kidnapping, firing squad, daring escape, werewolf attacks, etcetera, peppered with assortments of omgweregonnadie, omgwerenotded, and sorryidontloveyou sex, for fsk' sake.
when I rewrite I'm totally gonna keep the pregnancy, though, because Sue&Stu are both stupid-teen enough to forget contraceptives and it makes total sense as a realistic mistake. Then she can be kicked down a few dozen staircases when she was still pondering abortion and have something to angst about besides "he's too cool for me, he's gonna dump me". >.>
Srsly I have an angels VS demons war there, I'm sure there's something going on that matters a little more than her 1/8 human, 3/8 angel, 3/8 demon mutt.

I hope you get your novel off the old computer. It would really suck to lose all that work.
Question: I've looked at that userpic from time to time for almost a year now, and even tried to find the person who made it. But I still -- can't -- figure out -- what -- it -- MEANS! >.< Can you explain it to me, please? ^^;;;
no subject
^^; for me it's just a perfect "ahaha WFTwhat, reality reboot" icon. Also it makes me think of the "His wife? A HORSE" wank, which will always crack me up, (WARNING NOT BRAIN SAFE FOR INNOCENTS) but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the iconmaker's first intent.

*Cries* if only if only.........
Supposedly there IS a way to only rip out the hard drive from a Mac or an early tower and hok it into some reader thing that opens it on another com........ but it might as well be rocket science for me....

it sucks doesnt it. ahh, no matter, i decided to let go of it. *sniffle* i hope yours go better ;.;

We have an ancient mac at work that we need to pull files off of, so that we don't lose the data. Of course, it isn't compatible with our pc system. BUT our tech figured out how to make it work! Install a pdf writer on the mac. Print the item in question, only have it go to the pdf writer instead of to a printer. Email to yourself. And there you have it - data retrieved!
I'm not a tech, so any questions of that variety I couldn't answer. But it CAN be done . . .
(glad to have you back, btw)
oh yeah
Re: !!!
too late, i threw it away already. *sobs* bah, the screen didnt even turn on at all, so i couldn't see what was going on at all, so i'm not sure how i could have installed anything. ;____;
it's okay, i planned to rewrite the fic properly anyway. XD;
(and now i'm leaving my cousin's place and returning to the currently internetless apartment. wahhh. i want to be back for good already. T____T)
