Well, we made it through Christmas, but.....
I got home, turned on the pc, and my hard drive did that whole 'click-click-I-hate-you-click' thing.
After about half an hour of dread (and perhaps a couple of tears), I realised I hadn't lost too much other than maybe some downloaded freebies (I'll live without them) and the majority of my bookmarks and some passwords I couldn't remember and are a slight hassle to get (reminder to everyone to backup bookmarks and password lists frequently... I was 6 months behind on mine). All my work related files are fine as we operate a RAID server for backup.
So, all that means is that a lot of the work I was planning on getting done in January has to be postponed. I have bare bones computer access at the moment, no photoshop (am using it as the perfect excuse to upgrade though rofl), no dual screens capability (*sob*) and other annoying stuff. Hopefully it will all be sorted out within 2 weeks though!
I have also come to realise that if I didn't have my IT nerd husband I would be completely and totally stuffed, even if he is slow in getting everything done (apparently he has this thing called 'work' to do? lol).
So I'm taking lovely photos with no capability to play with them or upload them. I can't work on graphics, which means business cards and logos are on hold for the time being, but I'm finding other things to amuse me instead :) In fact, the kids are currently doing a good job of attracting my attention...
So, Happy New Year to everyone! I'll be back when all my computer life has been taped back together lol :)

Oh no....that feeling of loss! I know the knot in the stomach and can relate.
Hi!
I was thinking maybe you, and your readers, would be interested in taking part in a digital art contest organized by MyARTYshow.
You could win a graphics tablet worth 1200€, the opportunity of being exposed in a French gallery and, through the Facebook page of the contest, winning 1500€ if you collect the most ‘like’!
MyARTYshow organized this contest to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the brands: Gauloises, Bugatti, Sucrettes, Lesieur, Banania and L’Oréal, and the 200th birthday of Peugeot. You have to create three pieces of art: each one for a different brand upon the seven suggested. All media files are allowed (movie, picture, sound, aniation, etc.). It’s fun to do! You’ll see. :)
You have until the 15th of February to participate.
To submit you work or ask any question about the contest just send an email to: concoursdigital@myartyshow.com; or you can go to the Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/concours.art.digital.MyARTYshow.
