last sentence from dumbat might save your day (or night) for now.

Yep, autosave is well worth looking into, I know, because my computer has crashed on me while I was photoshopping about 55 times now, since this summer when the previous brain of my computer fried.....

Never got it to work ok again after that......

Been there, done that!

And one day I'll chop the T-shirt to prove it

If it makes you feel any better, I spent 9 hours from last night through 3 AM working on a simple DVD compilation for a buddy that should have taken me 20 minutes to do. Yes, I finally got it done, but I'm exhausted and am going to lose out on half my weekend catching up on sleep. Technology can suck sometimes.

what do you guys have all for systems?
i can actually not remember the last time my machine hung, froze or crashed.

I'm in no doubt that I WILL experience this at some point soon given that I can do a 4 hour chop & forget to save it throughout that time.... I'm a dumbass sometimes

I tell this to EVERYONE I teach - I wack them in the head if I don't see their (usually) left hand up near the edge of their keyboard ready to hit

CONTROL + S (COMMAND + S for those of us who are COOL )

Here is one of my ReinManRules: Every time you put down a new idea or layer or bit of pixel, hit CONTROL + S. It becomes a HABIT, a GOOD habit. If you have your left hand NEAR your keyboard it is a simple Pinky + Index Finger movement that takes about 200 milliseconds to do.

I'm not being sarcastic or fasicious here, I'm sorry you lost your work, dude. But learn from this - don't rely on more AUTO SAVE technology that will eventually fail on you too. You got a pinky and you got an index finger so


CONTROL + S (COMMAND + S with your thumb and nasty middle finger, for those of us who remain, in our own special way, COOL )


:reinman:

Again with the sensible cheap answer. STOP THAT!!!!

Put it into a song, Reinier, perhaps a jolly polka . . . . .

Thank you Al! I can totally clearly hear it...

*accordion polka music as background*
*some canadian voice starts singin*

You gotta con - trol S it, con - trol S it... never forget it, never forget it...

*PSC choir jumps in, second voice*

You gotta cooon - troool S iiit, cooon - troool S iiiit...

*loop track*

Really, thank you Al.

Just remember, dunno, tune lock is never a reason for suicide.








. . . . unless it is tune lock of a ReinMan song.




D'OH!!

is there any meds for that?

PLEASE?

i need some meds now myself....

anytime ReinMan makes sense, because it is something that I do already (due to a similar experience a long time ago) ...

*starts rocking back and fourth, drooling on myself, and chanting "polka polka"*
