disaster averted...

I was actually WRITING this afternoon (after not doing it for, like, a week), and then... computer crash! Frak! It looked like both Firefox, Adobe and something else were attempting to look for/download updates at the same time and... POOF!

Man, I was so worried I'd lost all I'd worked on this afternoon. But thanks to the magic of Auto-recovery, I was safe! phew! Because that was gonna really annoy me if I had to redo ie. It's never as good when I have to type it in again - like some sort of pale shadow of what I'd originally intended.

In other news I had one of those strange "Did that person actually watch the same show I did?" moments yesterday while wandering about online. It wasn't a preference thing (I'm old enough and schooled enough to recognize other people's preferences, even if I don't share them); it was as if they'd seen a version from an alternate universe. I was so gobsmacked I asked my husband if I'd missed something vital that turned the entire show inside out. He was also puzzled. hmf. We all really do see and interpret things in our own way, don't we? or, the less generous -- PEOPLE ARE STRANGE OMG.

And in other OTHER news, iTunes is feeding my Maroon 5 addiction today. DAMN IT. My wallet objects, even though I'm making grabby hands (LIVE SET PLUS VIDEO!).

Aye, that sucks! I had that happen to me a few weeks ago. Was saving it and the program froze up on me. After a few seconds, my entire computer froze and I had to restart it. Everything I had on that document went byebye. So, I am so very happy for you that it didn't get deleted!

when mine froze, it froze iTunes as well so I got this really annoying single note over and over again until I powered it down.

But yes, I was very lucky that Autosave was current. Which probably didn't help the memory shortage, but at least I saved it.
