Computers Suck

Okay, so, my main rendering machine, which was working fine yesterday, won’t start today. I was thinking I needed a new one, but this is not the way I was planning to go.


Hopefully, this won’t impact timescales for the next book because I’ll have fixed/replaced it by the time I need to make a new cover. I just hope I can recover the data because I know the last backup I have doesn’t include the latest character models. There’s a PC repair shop in the village I live in, so there’s a chance I can get this thing operational again. *sigh* I hate computers sometimes.


In other news, the isekai novel I’m writing is going to get a name change. Currently, I haven’t decided what it’s changing to, so it’ll remain as ‘Isekai’ until I do.

Dave That ‘Like’ is not because I ‘Like’ you’re computer problems, just that I ‘Like’ reading status updates and inside info into an author’s mind. ^.^
Hope data is all there!

I do actually have backups of a lot of the data, it's just that it's not automatic and the stuff I've most recently done is at risk. The text of my novels and the background data for them is backed up on several machines and the cloud, but trying to do that with the graphics data would swamp most cloud services.
