I just lost like a week of work...

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-07 11:12:50

So I have a large visual design project. I've been working on it from the start of the semester. Today, I attempted to open it, only to find that the file was corrupted. I had a backup, but I lost about a third of my work. The project is due tomorrow and I was planning on spending all of today and tomorrow preparing for a CS test on Wednesday. The next two days are going to be hell.

Yowch. That sucks. Know the feeling too. Corruption of system32.dll is fun.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-07 11:16:59

I was feeling so motivated when I went to open the file, and now I don't want to do anything at all...

Tnophelia · 2011-02-07 11:27:03

The best thing you can do is work on it as much as possible.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-07 11:46:08

That's the plan.

I've moved everything I could recover to a new file, which I've saved in several places. Next, I need to catch up to what I had this weekend.

Stormtroper · 2011-02-07 12:08:32

Ouch. Next time use Dropbox or similar.

Don't get demotivated, it will be easier and faster the second time.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-07 12:18:45

It is going a lot faster. By a rough estimate, I'm 20% done catching up.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-07 16:04:19

I think I'm almost done catching back up. Not quite as bad as I thought.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-07 17:08:33

Oooo, that's good.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-07 18:25:15

All caught up now ^_^

Now I just have to finish it up and study CS... my college is not known for going easy on people.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-07 20:37:09

Finished and submitted. Hell yes.

Good job.

If that happened to me, I don't think I'd be able to redo it nearly as quickly as you seem to have.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-07 20:42:11

I figured out a better way to do some of the most time-consuming stuff. Even if it had been the first time doing it, it would have taken about half the time.

Well, lookslike something nice came of this problem.

Good job!

Stormtroper · 2011-02-08 12:33:01

Good job!

Tnophelia · 2011-02-08 13:20:46

I was asleep for a whole day, sorry I missed out, good job INUH!

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-08 13:23:15

Thanks, everyone.

You slept for a whole day? My record's only sixteen hours.

Tnophelia · 2011-02-08 13:24:07

Hitting a Starbucks Mocha+Energy Drink at 10:00 pm is not good for you.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-08 13:25:53

Ah. I don't drink coffee/energy drinks. I feel like my sleep cycle's screwed up enough as-is.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-02-08 14:01:24

I've only drank cold metal-bottled starbucks coffee in my last year as an undergrad.

I generally prefer to get my caffeine fixes from Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper.

Howdy, Stranger!
