If you've been wondering what happened with my blog, well here is a short explanation.
I've been playing with computers for a very long time. I have to say that it's pretty amazing to have the degree of "misfortune" as I appear to be having with computers lately. In 18 years I have never experienced so much concurrent adversity in such a small window of time.
I have had MASS data loss, virus contamination, hardware failure, software failure etc ad nauseum for about the last three months. I have lost files I have saved since 1996. All fairly astounding seeing as I run a system that I designed to protect against this very sort of thing from happening. I have lost hardware. Each time the failure threat was averted, with damage and data loss until a misshap and the subsequent loss of the second to the last machines motherboard halted everything. I am now down to a single machine from four, and the surviving machine lost 500g worth of data, with what was archived having lost it's organization.
I guess it's just another one of those "unexplainable mysteries" which my cup appears to be running over the top with.
In any case, I had no less than 71 open pieces of writing slated to come to this blog which have been (apparently) lost. It remains to be seen whether I can recover them. It is a shame because some may have had some real promise as teaching pieces.
As of the moment, they are gone.
I wonder how it is that I can go 18 years without something like this happening, and then to experience all of this in just a few short months. Yep, just a complete mystery.
SO: For the moment, my writing is on hold. I need to sort what's left of my computers out, salvage what I can, regroup and start over. Of course first I have to figure out what I'm going to do about my car which was nearly destroyed by the hail. Then there is the.....the list continues to depression. I won't give up though. Those of you who know me, know I'm way too hardheaded for that. (and no, I haven't yet reached for the dreaded black wand encased in the "break glass in case of dire need of extreme payback" lol!) I have my integrity. I have my resolve. I am running a little low on patience, but we'll make due.
I will continue to blip dj, twitter and I will drop short pieces when I can until such time as I can get everything sorted back out, but I just wanted to thank those of you who have shown me love and support as I attempted to write.
Love Chiron'
