Yesterday I talked about mind slippage. Today, I will elaborate on that a little more. Early this morning, I took my laptop out into the living room and continued editing my manuscript for Behind the Signs when I decided, after four-and-a-half-hours, to save it onto a flash drive and on SkyDrive. I put a flash drive in my computer and thought for sure I was doing the right thing. That was just after I brought up the SkyDrive window and the file window where the file is stored in my computer. I drug the file into what I thougt was from my computer file into SkyDrive. All went well, the computer prompted me to make sure I wanted to replace this file with the other. I pressed okee-dokee and transferred files. The only problem was I transferred the old file from SkyDrive and replaced the new file in my computer with the old one. I tried and tried to get it back, even thought about restoring my computer to a previous time. The problem there is that Windows doesn't do anything with files, only programs are restored. Crap, I have to do it all over. Now I am taking a break before my beloved HP takes flying lessons, even though it isn't the computer's fault. It's my own stupidity right down to the core. I learned my lesson and will definetly pay more attention from now on.
Until next time,
Robert Detoit
