For Garnet Lacey Fans
Feb. 1st, 2014 12:13 pmJust a quick note for any fans of my Garnet Lacey series. My friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
empty_mirrors has been listening to the audio books of the series and felt moved to write some fan fic. You should check it out: http://archiveofourown.org/works/1159841
I'm sorry I've been missing in action again. I had a bit of a computer trauma, as in, somehow, once again, I managed to completely and utterly destroy a computer. This time I took out a Mac Book Pro. In fact, it was so badly corrupted that when Genius Nick at the Genius Bar took it to the back room to plug it into their diagnostic machine, my computer FROZE their console. To which, I said, as I patted the Mac Book, "Well done, you!" Because, you know, if you're going to go out, go out with a BANG, I say!
But so I kind of have a new computer. It's a brand new hard drive in the old case, so, you know, that kind of counts. I had to reinstall all the things and reset all the preferences, so it feels new. I gave it a new name and installed CrashPlan right away, but I tell you, if it keeps being stupid, I'm going to nickname it "Moon Moon." Of course, I might do that anyway, just because it gives me such perverse pleasure to shout out, "Damn it, Moon Moon!" (also I adore that there's a hashtag on Tumblr devoted to Moon Moon.)
Oh, and for those of you wondering what I did to kill this Mac Book, the answer is "exerted my mysterious superpower." Because, unlike, say, the time known in certain circles as "the turkey incident" or even the "dropped it on its hard drive" moment, I actually only attempted to hard boot the Pro. This, I was told by Genius Nick was simply "a Thing That Happens."
I did loose some stuff. I hadn't gotten around to installing CrashPlan, so I lost a chapter of the sequel to Precinct 13 that I was working on, but, surprisingly that was all. The rest of the stuff I had shared on Google Docs, so it was sitting there in the cloud, waiting for me. :-)
I'll have more tomorrow, hopefully some pictures (finally) of me eating the fruit cake sent byempty_mirrors and the other yummy treats from the UK that we've been slowly devouring.
