stupid first world problems you're dealing with

My lap top ran out of batteries unexpectedly and shut down right after I had cut two project folders with the intention of moving them to another folder. Now the files are gone!! WTF?? i didn't know that could happen. Also, the battery was showing "full" right before this happened.

I'm now downloading file recovery software in the hopes that I won't have to explain to my client that I need them to resend the files due to some ridiculous computer situation on my end.... this is so dumb.

:(

RIP Ninja Fuck

are you using windows? because that's impossible on windows, 'cut' just puts them in the clipboard with an intention to move them later.

RIP Ninja. Fokk.

Well Ivan maybe you can name your next kitty Yolandi, if a female.

Yes, I'm using Windows. Where is this mysterious clipboard? (I've been searching to no avail.)

*I've downloaded a program called clipbook viewer. The folders I cut are not viewable there. Today is turning into bullshit.

Also, RIP Ninja! That is super sad. I had a cat pass away recently as well. Well... December. But it still feels pretty fresh.

it doesn't put the folders in the clipboard, just the paths to the folders, the folders stay exactly where they were until you paste them somewhere else. you must've hit delete or something else dumb

No, it's not in recycle. It's possible I'm just mistaken about how many folders are in this one directory, and the files miraculously did paste where they were supposed to in that split second before the computer shutdown without warning. That just seems hard to believe considering how large the files are and how slow my computer is. But I guess crazier things have happened.

well that's an easy question to answer, are they were you wanted to paste them? if you cut and paste things on the same drive btw it doesn't take any time to move them, just changes the pointers to them so they belong to the new parent folder, they stay in the same physical location on the disk.

I dropped my eraser and it bounced to god knows where

my face is too big

It would have been an easy question to answer if I were certain which songs the folders were for. Basically I thought there were 11 folders, two of which I was attempting to paste over. 9 were in that folder, therefore I thought the two I cut were not successfully transferred. That bit above that I bolded occured to me as a possibility after my last reply. it was on the same drive, so I guess the transfers were instant (i usually transfer from one drive to another, so I'm used to the long transfer times). In conclusion, there were less folders than I thought, and the transfer was instant for the reason you pointed out. Yay!

Hey, sorry about your kitty ooze...

If it's f'en poison I hope someone finds the f'er that did it and makes him pay in the most painful way possible, force feed him razor blades washed down with gasoline or something.

grrr

same. just got a quarter bonus and looking to get a minilogue and/or monomachine but then that's it (or at least that's what i tell myself). really i should just upgrade to reaktor 6 and learn all the software i have and focus on crafting choons.

 

plus i also know i'll get the te op-z when it's released and the last batch of pocket operators too =\

That sentence made me smile - because I know exactly how you feel o_O

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I can't believe I'm still doing this after getting a Monomachine which was my dream synth. Lusting hard for Nord Drum 2, Nord Lead 2, MS-20 mini, Minilogue, Volca FM, C&G Organelle, gahh. I really need to either hunker down and learn the shit out of what I already have, spending like an hour a day on it, or just take responsibility for the likely fact that hardware is inadequate for the auditory liquid geometry bubbling at the corners of my mind. Either way I need to unload a bunch of gear before I pick up any more, eck.

yeah i want an mpc but i have yet to learn the PUSH i bought months ago.

My ears still haven't stopped ringing from BangFace, how long until I should be worried? Either way, time to invest in some ear plugs methinks.

that is correct.

but look on the bright side...

... as the dark side conceals the alien superstructures that we're not meant to know about.

I helped move a piano over the weekend and fucked up my back.

Gokt DAYum that shit was heavy.

My aunt sent me videos of my baby cousin a week ago and I still haven't responded... babies creep me out. Enough time has gone by that she's probably offended. But to be fair, my brother only just replied this morning, so at least we both seem terrible and t's not just me. He already covered "cute" so I've got to come up with some other nice comment typically associated with babies. I'm really bad at doing insincere replies to things, so I put it off. Maybe I'll go with the "you must be so excited!" route. That's pleasant without giving any real feedback. I'll be interested in him when he can actually talk and walk around. But the shitting blob stage really isn't my thing.

lol this makes me sound like a horrible person. Ah well. I am actually happy for them....

I ended up going with "he looks happy, thanks for the share!"

you could try my go to phrase around babies: "he/she looks like a baby!"

I think you should just be honest, people like that.

"Jesus Christ, what a butt-ugly monster of a baby! He looks goddamn 80! I mean, you ain't a pretty picture as well, but this! Fucking hell! Shitty little freak."

You'll notice that people will start appreciating you more and more.
