PluckyNinja is having computer problems. :( -

Well, my hard drive decided to go and quit on me for reasons unknown, which means that until I get Windows 7 reinstalled I am stuck using my macbook. To make matters worse, my data appears to be beyond my ability to recover, which means that several high-res art pieces of mine, as well as an unreleased entry of Sexy Spitfire and a WIP page of Return of Prince Blueblood are gone unless I can find a professional who knows how to deal with hard drives suffering physical damage (and isn’t going to charge me hundreds of $$$ to recover my data). I also lost a few hours’ worth of work in Maya on my culminating animation project for school which I had not backed up. It does not look like I will be able to get anything off of the hard drive in the foreseeable future, so for now I don’t really have any choice but to shelve the thing.

I haven’t had to deal with real anger for quite a while, so you can consider my jimmies were sufficiently rustled. Now that I’ve had a chance to calm down, at least the unfinished page of my Blueblood comic still exists in an earlier state on my macbook, and although that’s still a fair bit of work I will have to do it’s better than starting from scratch. I suppose the silver lining to all this mess, if there is one, is learned a valuable lesson today: back up your data regularly, because it only takes a few minutes for a seemingly healthy hard drive to turn into one that is unusable.

I’m not sure if this was just a hardware failure or if it was a virus, but I be looking into buying a SSD for my Windows install in the near future since I hear they are more stable, as well as putting in more HDDs and setting up a real backup system. I’m just lucky that most of my drawings and documents were also on my laptop, so I didn’t lose everything (even though my recent projects are on the broken HDD). It’s going to take me quite a while to reinstall my programs and copy all my data again, but I guess that should be my motivation not to let this happen to me again.

Hello, new old computer!

I finally have a working desktop PC at my disposal, so that means I can finally get back to work on my art and projects. This thing is no spring chicken, but I did clean her up and put a quad core processor in it, and once I put the new fans in I should be able to get it overclocked to at least 3.5 GHz. I still need to add more ram, a new video card, and upgrade it to Windows 7, but even it it’s current state it runs circles around my macbook pro so I’m happy.

Also, I’ve already tested it at multitasking my art programs with Procaster, Netflix, DVDs, and pretty much anything else I could throw at it running in the background, and it handled it like a champ with no lag at all. That means ANOTHER LIVESTREAM COMING SOON, WOO! Possibly as soon as today, once I get to Staples and pick up a new mic headset. :)
