I just want to die.
My laziness and stupidity has caused trouble again. The data loss took its toll.
...Good God, my files. My Myus..!
This was supposed to be such a wonderful weekend. I passed all of my exams, there will be no phonetics class at Monday, I could have spent the entire day relaxing, drawing and watching anime - had I not been stupid enough to let other people use my PC.
However, I /had/ been stupid enough.
It was a fine morning and I was in a mood agreeable enough to let my uncle play Solitaire while I busied myself with sketching. The sad thing is, I left Azureus running, so the PC was working not as smoothly as usual. And that gave my uncle an idea to install some software to "improve" the stability of the system. And that was the beginning of a tragedy.
Some time later a "wonderful" software called Webroot Window Washer has been installed on my PC. "Wash My Computer" button has been clicked. My files have been deleted.
...Good God, mIRC download folder has been thoroughly cleaned. Dozens of precious files has been deleted. The sad thing is, I moved majority of my files to this folder to easily burn them on DVD after my uncle was done playing.
And that's where the tragedy begins.
Everything is gone.
Doujinshi, some Tenipuri episodes, and, dear God, Tenimyus..!!! All Tenimyus except for the first one, which I saved in a different folder. I heven't even watched Fudomine yet, I was supposed to watch it today. Backstages. Everything. It took me AGES to download those files. I had been leaving the PC running for few days straight. I had abused the PCs of wonderful, wonderful people who were serving Myus on IRC, because my download speed was so goddamned low.
There is no words for I happy I was when I finally managed to download those files, and now everything is gone. It will take me /months/ to download those files again, if I'll be able to, at all. Doujinshis and mangas - I'll manage, but I don't even know where to search for Myus now, and their file sizes are so large, and I won't ever be home from Monday to next Saturday, how I am supposed to download /anything/..?
...I'm at loss of words. I sent all day - from 10 AM to 22 PM - trying to find a way to recover the files, but no matter what software I used the result is the same - files are unrecoverable.
I just wish people at Webroot would actually think of such a situation. There was not even a goddamned warning that some files are about tobe deleted. I would understand if it were Temporary Files or something, but the download directories? What kind of idiot would want to delete files in such a way? Wouldn't be easier to just delete those files in a normal way after burning them on CD/DVD..?
An I repeat, there was no warning. One second the files were there, the second - there were gone. And the "bleach" option wasn't even turned on - according to Webroot the files /should/ be recoverable if the bleach was inactive. They /aren't/.
And the motto of this story is: backup your files! I was late just an hour and so - and that was enough. Had I moved my lazy ass and burned the DVD /before/ I let a computer illiterate person use my PC, everything would have been fine.
Motto 2: if you are ever going to use Window Washer, look through the settings /really/ carefully. Or, even better, make a backup of the entire HDD.
And now I get back to mourning. My post might sound rather dry but actually there's no Kleenex left in my house, because I used up every single box wiping my eyes (and nose, to be disgusting honest).
...I think I need to search for the files I lost, now. I just feel like a horrible, repulsive sucker for wasting bandwidth of those people who serve/upload the files... Perhaps I should wait until I'll be able to buy DVDs..? But that will take months until I'll be able to have a credit card made, save enough money, until they will be shipped and until I'll be able to get my greedy hands on them. That means months without my Tenimyu crack.
...I want to die.
Once more: BACKUP YOUR FILES!
...I need more Kleenex.
I feel like writing angs fics. Some horribly depressing ones, possibly including data loss (Mizuki's laptop squished flat..?) and bloody murder.
...On the other side, perhaps I should refrain from writing anything in this state, or I might accidentally depress myself into a coma, and God knows it wouldn't take much.
On an optimistic note; I actually managed to finish a few new Yummi pics. As soon as I'm done angsting I'll scan, edit and post them...
*looks at the sketches and tears up*
...KENN chibi.
...Where will I find inspiration now..? ;_;
