So, my computer's hard drive decided to start getting buggy, I thought I had a virus for a little while. After running diagnostics, it became clear that it was actually my hard drive that was about to fail! Thankfully, I was able to get all of my files, everything, safely stashed away on an external drive, and now i'm running on a fresh drive.
Unfortunately, that means I need to spend a day or so just reinstalling and reestablishing everything on my computer. But I am extremely grateful that my work wasn't lost, and now I have about 3 or 4 redundant copies of it on separate systems and drives! It also embedded the importance of having this site for me, since even if I had lost it all, I would still at least have the images on my website.
Anyways, remember people, Save, Save Often, and Save a version often, and Save an archive often on at least 2 other places if you really want to be paranoid. Oh. And get a cloud server.
