Ten days ago, to commemorate September 11th, my computer proclaimed, "Allahu Akbar", and arbitrarily wiped and corrupted all sorts of data in my user folders. Now, fortunately, I had up-to-date backups of almost every affected file, so I only lost one day of actual work (plus the ones it's taken me to deal with this crap). However, one of the things it decided to corrupt was my "Projects" folder, which is where I keep every single file related to all of my translations. I nearly lost everything. I also nearly lost four years of notes, which would have been especially bad for RPGX, because that's where I wrote down every relevant detail about the official localization, my translations of attack names, name transliterations I've managed to track down, and so forth. During the brief period when I tried to restore the database for my notes and failed, I was seriously concerned that all of that information was gone, plus all the other important stuff I had built up over the years.
So this is your reminder to
BACK.
UP.
YOUR.
SHIT.
Anyway, with about a week's delay thanks to all this, there's a new update on the Rentry page.
Glad things worked out, that's a real scare. Thanks for the update!
