I'll stick around. The show I was working on turned out great, but I don't know that staying away from from SL helped me much. There are just as many other things out there to distract from what I should be doing. So - no one can blame SL for being addictive or wasting too much time. People just find something else.

Two weeks seemed like forever though. It's good to be back.



Hey Weston! I'm so glad the show turned out well! :)

And it's great to have you back in this neck of the woods. We missed ya! :)

Since I drank those two tiny cups of coffee that came with breakfast and still wanted more, I brought back lots of cups - enough to share:



/me snags a few cuppas and sends a hug your way, Lil. :)

With any luck. Then Ill never have to worry about food again. They put a levy on my account and took out 1380 dollars(that wasn't actually in there so now it's minus) and I have no idea why and it's Sunday and have to wait till tomorrow to find out and it's driving me crazy.:/


/me takes more happy pills.

I did something mega stupid...
08-16-2009 18:03
I was installing the newest GLViewer and I was also cleaning out old files to defrag and other 'house cleaning'... Somehow I uninstalled SL - I uhm.. erased my chat logs.. all of them- since 2006 - i have a memory like a sieve.. I can't remember anything and now have lost any connection to the last almost four years :( - it doesn't matter for the important stuff 'cause I cannot forget some things :D - but now the dates of said things are irretrievably lost :(. I cannot tell you how lousy that feels :(

Some operating systems save previous versions of your folders automatically. I know Vista does. Maybe your chat logs are still around somewhere, Amar - but I guess you've thought of that. :(

Oooo, sounds like some taxes weren't paid--are you employed where you have to hold back and pay your own sales tax quarterly?

I havent worked in five years. I did owe money on a 401k I withdrew early but I paid them that money back already months ago. Not sure what this is all about.

Pretty much all Windows systems put deleted items in the recycle bin and they can be 'restored' from there if you have not emptied it.

Oh I had been doing lots of cleaning... so before i noticed my idiocy - I had cleared old files, temp files, cached stuff and yes- Recycle Bin- so yes it's gone - all of it. But to be honest- although i am sad to have lost it - it doesn't really matter much - the important stuff is somewhat engraved in my own head. And my lappy is lighter! I am sorry it happened but you now..."they can't take that away from me.."

Search using Google for UnDelete tools (there should be a free one available or at least a demo of a commercial product) - if your computer has a FAT32 format drive instead of an NTFS format drive then there is a good chance you can undelete those files even if they are gone from the Recycle bin. However the longer you leave it and more you use the computer in the meantime, the more you risk those areas of the disk that still store your chat logs being overwritten.

Some of the newer tools may even work on NTFS drives too.

Oh it gets better... I defragged before I noticed it had happened.. so chances are it is really gone- but i will do some research on those un-deletes- never knew it existed! Thanks!

yvwm though I think that if you have already defragged your drive then you are truly hosed :( My advice for the future is to buy a USB flash drive/key (very inexpensive) and every so often copy your important data on to it, then keep it safe. This goes for not just chat logs but anything you value. Really you must or one day it will all go poof and that will feel worse than this sadly.

The day anyone but me has the ability to withdraw unspecified amounts out of my bank account is the day I withdraw all my money as soon as it goes in and hide it someplace else.

Poor Amar, I know the feeling well, as I seem to have some kind of computer disaster every couple of years. And it's ALWAYS at a time when I've just been thinking, "Gee, it's been at least 6 months since I backed this up... I should really do that soon."

/me drags out the external drive to make a backup now

i don't log chats, ever. pictures are the only thing on my puter that i would hate to lose, and i often load them onto CD's and store them that way. i probably ought to do that again. soon.
