Yeah, life, right? I was away from here for a bit because I have a lot of projects, and everything kinda went KABOOM at the same time, culminating in me hovering a finger over the big RESET button right now. If people are nice, I may tell the story of my insane last few years, but for now, I will TRY to focus.
So late last year, my webhost decided to flush its entire brain and remaining morals out the drain, demanding weird payments for things never ordered and then forcing everyone to buy something in order to change servers. There was an EU ruling involved or something, safe to say the entire thing made me move my online stuff. Then they didn’t release my domain names and blocked me from shutting them down myself. I just got EmbassyOfTime.com back this month. Yay to that, and my new hosts seem real nice!
I forgot I was using my website as a backup depository. Yesterday, my laptop reminded me by dying on me. Unless I can retrieve the hard drive myself (oh, the tension…), I lost everything but my personal photos and vids (which tbh are most important to me, so again, yay?). Writing, coding, animation, webdesign, all bye bye.
But maybe this is a sign. A sadistic, ruthless sign from dark, dark powers, that I should press RESET and do the dance one more time, from the top. I now contemplate this.
I am keen to know if anyone has experiences, ideas, trinkets of wisdom to share on such matters? I will post more as I get my head on right, but I am doing this by phone, as budget demands I wait till the end of the month to get a replacement computer. Gonna try a refurb, I think…
Also, I just buried the third cat this year from my rescue, so I may not be 100% grounded and rational for a bit. Rest in snacks, sweet Ursula.
