*Headdesk!* And Other Not So Nice Words Associated With Computers

Well, it would seem that my luck with data surviving the death of my computer does not extend to my graphics. A lot of my coloring scripts don't want to work with my new computer due to some odd difference in directory paths between XP and Win7. It also looks like I lost the folder that had most of my SG-1 season 4 icons (about 100 icons per episode) waiting to be converted to image files and uploaded. Somehow, I managed to either delete the back-up folder or I never had a back-up of the PSP files in the first place.

All in all, I still have to say that my paranoia about data back-ups has paid off. If I have to lose something, I would much rather have it be icons/graphics than anything writing related. However, I'm sorry to say that it will probably be a while before I make another attempt at an SG-1 season. (Unless of course my mere mention of SG-1 sparks some kind of revival.) I haven't given up my goal to icon through the series, but I'm pretty discouraged at the loss of that set, and currently my inspiration for visual art runs toward other shows. Gosh, I feel like such a disloyal little 'Gater these days...
