The perils of not backing up are rearing their ugly head. My main computer crashed on tuesday while I was working some video. It left the computer utterly unbootable.

Wow, suddenly a month goes by and I haven’t posted. It’s just like the old days when I was working for Yertle the Turtle. Gosh, we have some news now. November was National Novel Writing Month, aka NaNoWriMo. I wrote 52,000 words in November, which is about 60% of the… Continue reading
