Oh no... I lost my project...

[VJ]

And it is my own stupid fault...

After one of the power blackouts, my Windows started acting up. So I decided to reinstall: back up all my data and so on, format all partitions, and start with a clean system. After I backed everything up, formatted my new partitions and had installed Windows, it suddenly hit me: my Program Files directory!

Yes, Boinc was installed in my Program Files directory, and the Boinc backups were ACE files in that same directory... And guess which directory I didn't back up...

Luckily, the ACE file from my last monster update (Jan 23) is still on my work PC, but all the crunching I've done in the past 2 weeks is gone...

Man, are we of the lowlands running into bad luck, but you are the Kind of CPDN bad luck dude.

Oh, BTW, when I said 'lost my project', I meant those 4 projects that were running in parallel. Good think I found that previous monster upload file...

ouch. Sorry to hear that VJ.

In a way, it is my own stupid fault.

But reinstalling my system is necessary due to the last power black out (In Ghent we now have had 10 powerblackouts in 3 weeks, most of them lasting over 1 hour; my street suffered 3 times), so I like to blame the electricity company.
