Title: Good news... Bad news... Good news... Bad news
Post by: Lilwolf on October 20, 2004, 09:53:56 am
Wow... It seems like every other day is something..

A few weeks ago I talk my wife into letting me spend a few hundred in getting new artwork for my gauntlet cabinet - GREAT! -  

Then my cabinet which was in my garage for a week so I could repaint parts of it...  And the garage flooded... damaging the bottom... BAD -  Not sure if I can ever make it look as new anymore... sigh...  Worth putting a few hundred in on artwork when the bottom of one side is damaged?  I guess I will find out.

Then I get my frontend feature complete.  Move it over to my arcade cabinet..  Works great..  Just ready for installer and create some skins. - GREAT  been working for a year on it.

Then... I get home last night and it looked like BOTH my harddrives where dead - BAD BAD

Then.. I get one of the two working again... I HAVE the source  - GREAT!  I was really going to cry if I lost it all

Then.. I cant find my driver disks for my computer... So I couldn't download network drivers to connect to the network to download the drivers.. - BAD

Then.. I find them after going through EVER CD I own.  GREAT.  back online.

All this with the same week as some crappy EBay stuff (won a bid... paid for it... and today find the same auction back up... )

Sigh...

At least you have your source - I tend to email my source to myself (web-based mail), and leave it on a work PC just in case.  I know how bad it is to lose code like that, seems like it takes a lifetime to re-write it...

Your luck will change, I'm sure :)
