I'm ticked as hell right now

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Mia chapter 5 had been finished. It was one of those chapters that takes forever to finish because it's akward and just a chore.

Well, it's not done anymore.

For some reason, I gave it to my editor, she couldn't open it. I tried to open my copy, and the whole thing is corrupted. I can't extract ANY information from it. So I not only lost the new chapter, but all the old ones too.

I *think* I have a copy of the old stuff on another drive (from before I swapped over to Linux), but even if I don't, I have the chapters I posted here.

So sorry, but it's going to be a bit longer again.

GoogleDocs?

Does your editor have a copy of the most recent copy before this revision? And have you thought of using something like GoogleDocs or ZoHo writer to save/transfer document edits from person to person? That way you always have an online backup also.

Heh. My editor is my wife, she sits next to me. I transferred it over to her PC through the LAN here, and she couldn't open it. When she couldn't, I tried and that is when I found it was corrupted.

I found an older copy that has all up to Chapter 4, but I lost Chapter 5 except for a couple paragraphs.

Ces la vie!

Any way to send me a copy of the corrupted file?


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
