I've just finished spending the last six hours of today rebuilding a photoshop document of a website I'd been working on for a few days.
A really killer storm came in today, and I made sure that my battery backup was working in case the power went out. Well, at one point I believe lightning hit a tree next to the house or something, the light was intensely bright and the thunderclap was instantaneous. Power went out, and I thought everything was good, since the battery backup did kick in.
However, I realized very very quickly that my computer had completely frozen. Its not done this in YEARS. When I restarted my PC, everything seemed to be working fine...until I tried opening the file again. I got multiple errors, and it REFUSED to open it. When I finally did, it was COMPLETELY black. I tried restarting again...same deal. Somehow, the file was destroyed.
What's worse is my whole PC is acting funky now. Photoshop's been opening 40 help windows every time I kick it up, and a couple of my other programs are also acting weird, opening multiple instances of themselves, etc etc.
So yeah. Apparently my whole attempt to circumvent Nature with the battery backup has somehow backlashed on me. Not sure HOW, but arrrrgh. Thank goodness I still had a flattened preview image of the website I'd sent the client...used it to retrace what I did. Still though....six hours rebuilding, that I could've spent doing other things
