lol never mind
If there's one thing that I hold with unparalleled importance in my life it would probably be all of the data on my flash drive.Of what use is a flash drive to someone who has an unconquerable knack for losing things?
The last I recall of it would be using it to make stealth LS updates at 3:00 AM on Friday night / Saturday morning.
(Hmm, a deja-vu of writing this blog?
What does it meaaaan)
I went to bed at 3:45 and took it with me and put it on my desk.
Saturday afternoon was eventful. I went to the mall, several stores, a party, and my relatives' house.
I think it was in my pocket then.
So I've checked on my desk,
In all of the pockets of my shirts, jackets, pants, jeans, and hoodies, twice,
In all of my drawers, twice,
In between all of my books in my bookcase,
Amidst all the crap that fell behind the bookcase and collected there,
My closet floor, my closet shelves, my closet storage boxes, three times,
Under my bed, around my bed, behind my bed, between the mattresses that make up my bed,
Under the blanket, under my pillows, under my sheets,
I've checked the living room, the kitchen, my dad's office
My brother's living room, my brother's desk
My other brother's roommates' truck,
The car we drove to that party with,
I checked under the cushions on our sofa and couch, and inside the upholstery,
Behind all of the family photos on the hallway tables,
In my sister's laundry, in my parents' laundry,
Behind all of the drawers and desk in my room
On top of the drawers, within the piles of garbage on top of the drawers (folders, papers, boards, etc.)
In my money jar, in my wallets,
On the kitchen counters, in the pantries, the cabinets, the fridge
And I also checked the bathroom
where the hell else could it fucking beI didn't go streaking or invert myself at the mall so there's no chance it fell out then
I'm literally about to cry over this, I don't think I've ever felt so frustrated over something so petty as
losing the thousands of hours invested into one of the only things left in the world that brings you true happinessAnd yes, I said that programming makes me truly happy.
Over nearly everything else in the goddamn world. *flips a table*
this is why i have a small backup harddrive, along with dropbox. (you can use it without installing the program im sure.)
But anyway, I used to get upset about it, but getting upset wont help the situation. Last place you had it for sure is the desk, and you checked most of the places that it could have been. Check old pants and different pockets and stuff maybe.If you end up cant finding it, which maybe it will turn up later, but you can decompile the exe of the latest program and work from there. I know a lot of us have lost a lot of work before, but it happens sometimes and you gotta do whatever you can do.I mean, look at DSG. he has remadeuduku,crimson star, depths like 5 times…….or moreSorry, but I searched through all of my dirty - and clean - laundry already. It wasn't to be found.
On the subject of redoing things:Hmm?
I went to dropbox.com and ended up with a prompt to install something. Where's the actual website?I might have overlooked something because I was in a hurry when I did, so I'll check it again.There's a login link in the top right corner of the website…
I remember when my hard drive died in 2009. I spent hours attempting to login to another account on my laptop in an attempt to back important things up on a DVD, which when I did manage to login and open up command prompt, I was only able to back up my GM projects (which were all garbage anyway) and some pictures.
I hated losing everything else, though. My websites, Oblivion saves, etc… I did cry, actually. Now that I look back though, it wasn't that bad. Sure, I haven't really played Oblivion since then, but I did improve some skills by making new websites and incomplete games!I remember when my antivirus flagged everything on my computer as a virus (including itself) and quarantined it, then quarantined the quarantine unlock program.
Getting back up and running kind of sucked, but I keep regular backups so nothing much was lost (a bit of a harrowing experience with my Adobe licenses, though).Ask your family if they've seen it around, even if the chances are slim.
Reminds me of the time I thought I lost my flash drive. An hour later I found it sitting in my coat pocket.Dad: "Sorry man, haven't seen it."
Sister: "No."Mom: "I don't care, that isn't my responsibility. Stop asking me."
