I WILL DESTROY YOU COMPUTER

[kungfuwaynewho]

I was working on three icons last night for two different LIMS.  I was spending a lot of time on them.  I had done many many stages of background creation, coloring, textures, etc.  I Photoshopped for about an hour before I got too tired to work and decided to go to bed.  I just left Photoshop open, and it didn't occur to me to save the PSDs.

I didn't have time to get on the computer this morning.

Came home from work, made dinner, reading flist, la dee da, I will finish those icons.  Wait.  Photoshop isn't open.

COMPUTER INSTALLED UPDATES ON ITS OWN AND RESTARTED.  ALL LOST.

Gahhhh! That is the worst! I had my photoshop crash last night but luckily I didn't lose much.
And I've taken to saving my PSD's multiple times when making graphics now because I live in fear of this happening to me!

Ugh that is the worst. I'm sorry!
After that happened to me a couple of times, I started saving things (not just .psds, also .docs and whatever else I'm working on at any given time, really) every few minutes. Stupid technology!

Hee I need more Guy gifs in my life. (BTW, I did read your wonderful comments on the prologue, I just am in a weird space where I'm having a hard time writing long replies. But I will soon, I pwomis. :D:D:D)

I usually do save PSDs, just in case, so I think the real lesson here is "don't make icons after midnight when you're so sleepy you can't remember to back things up."

What's really irritating is I had just changed my computer's settings to not restart on its own and to always ask me first! Turns out it was updates for my antivirus and I had only set it for the Windows updates. God. I don't want my computer to be autonomous. It feels like Terminator.

Best believe I saved it every step this time.

Hence the reason I have all automatic updates disabled.

I think that would inspire a rage in me that could not be contained. I would be like, "STAB ALL THE THINGS!!!"

Thank God it was just some icons, and not something I'd written. My flash drive crapped out on me once and I lost about 2500 words, and I actually ended up rage-crying in my car driving to work.

No worries, as long as it helped I don't need an answer ;)

Orrrrr. ORRRRR. Does it feel like BSG? Which would be great, no?

Yup, I'll bet!

[kungfuwaynewho.livejournal.com]

Well, great eventually, but at first it would try to kill my whole family and talk to me a lot about God.

(Delenn is suppppperrrrrr pretty in your icon.)

(Also LOL, is the black sea black.)

[congo]

Well, but if it looked like Six, would you really mind? Honestly?

(I know, right? Not that she's not supppperrrr pretty all the time.)

(HAH OH MAN. Yesss. That tweet. I adore her.)

(I love how she's like, now I'm learning Turkish! Whee! Like, for real? Jeez, Mira, leave some smart for the rest of us.)

[congo]

Thought so.

(Yes, right? She's probably aiming for world domination.)
