So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

The Juanes Module


Juanes just needed his own mod. Who can disagree.
3:15 am
Monday. 4.4.11 3:14 am
The power went out. In the absence of power, I couldn't do any work. Hours and hours passed by.

When the power came back on, I drove to school to reboot my computer so that I could access it from home.

It wouldn't boot. No hard-drives could be recognized.

Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.

I remembered that I had saved my thesis in an online dropbox. I went to the dropbox. No thesis. Oh yes, I remember, I was going to save it into the dropbox, but then it was too big and I got distracted.

HA!

Remember, silly, you're supposed to save your thesis in multiple places! I DID. They just all happened to be inaccessible at once. I still had most of the individual papers, just not put together into the beautiful formatted thesis document.

I tried to boot it again. I got some kind of boot menu. That was better than the calm black screen I had gotten before, advising me of a hardware malfunction, or the blue screen of death, filled with technical error codes that mean nothing to me and "hardware malfunction" to the forums.

I booted into safemode.

My files appeared.

I dragged them to the external drive.

I saved onto every drive I have in my possession, the same files, over and over and over. Altogether it took from 11 pm til 3:15 am to get back to the place I was before the blackout, which started at 5 pm. Only now I don't have a computer.

Re: Jinx
In my last entry, I said that I like the general flow of my life at the moment and this week things just didn't go well. My car was dented because some idiot doesn't know how to park their car, I bumped into the one person I hope I don't bump into although I purposely took an alternative route and last night, I actually watched a movie with another friend that I said I'd avoid at all cost because she sounded sad and pathetic.

:D YAY! Thanks
I have no idea what that box is, but I got rid of my modules and added the blinds effect in order to make my entries legible and still somewhat see-through. So...bear with me? In Chrome, my entries sit on the far left so you can't see the blinds anyway. I think I'll get rid of them now.
