Oh God, Death in the Family

Everything in my life was fine and dandy. And then Windows came along and ruined everything.

All I did was restart my laptop last Sunday, and Windows decided that it needed to scribble all over my hard disk. I was using my laptop as a primary computer, and have been for many months now, because Mars’ power supply died.

I never setup backups for my laptop, because Mars was always the one I did my important work on.

So I lost everything.

Which is mildly inconvenient, when you consider that I have employers that want work done and Homeworld games that need to be finished.

Everything.

Even my saved Homeworld games.

That said, I do have a few tidbits of good news. One is my cubify part arrived this week: For Christmas, I made a model of my Dad’s house as a sort of house-warming present. I’ll post a few pictures next week.

As for the overall Cubify experience? I’d say it went pretty well. I was impressed by the Cubify support staff, who were able to work with my woefully inadequate model… Note that the railing is a little broken.
