so my computer shut itself down while i was napping yesterday. Or restarted itself.

Whichever.

I lost over 500 words of fic.

DAMN YOU FUCKING AUTOMATIC UPDATES, DIAF!

fucking windows.

[steeleblue]

i wish one of the options to 'would you like to restart now to install new updates?' was 'Fuck off'

i mean really.

[xmaidelx]

Part of me suspects people would click it far too hard.

[steeleblue]

EMPHATICALLY.

[dazzledfirestar]

Oh my God, I know that pain! Ugh.

[steeleblue]

and unfortunately i was working with different writing software i'm trying, not Word or google documents. I wouldn't lose anything with either of those.

Writing software Con #1

Google Docs helps for fic.

Edit: and just saw your response to someone else re:google doc

auto updates + photoshop makes me want to stab things, though

[steeleblue]

i don't get it. I was putting it off for days with 'remind in 4 hours' and then suddenly it just chooses not to listen?

I turned on my computer once and went to pee in the time it took me to do that and walk a few feet back to my bedroom the stupid automatic updates restarted. I had some stuff open in PS. I was displeased.

[steeleblue]

It's utterly ridiculous.

[sweetone41185]

Very. I will update when I feel like it. I don't need it to automatically restart.
