Technical issues and just plain bad luck

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 1, 2008, 7:21 PM
Back up your work! and often

Unfortunately I have had some serious technical issues with my computer, meaning that I have lost all work taken since November 14 2007, which was the last time I backed up my files. Stupid I know, but I truly am a chronic procrastinator.

I am truly shattered about this, as all my best photos were taken after the back up, so I have lost a lot. And though I have uploaded them to deviantart, I rarely upload a full sized image, because it takes to long. In fact the only full sized image I have here is Oscar.

So remember back up, and back up often!


Missing in Action


Due to the recent complications with my computer, I will not be uploading any new art to deviantart for quit some time. All our software needs to be re - installed, and with the computer still misbehaving we have decided to wait, until we fix, or update the damn thing.

SO I will not be around as much for a while, and will use this time as an excuse to catch up with writing projects and such.

THE PIXIE

If you like your pixies smart, funny, adorable and incredibly talented then Pixity-mish :iconpixity-mish: is the pixie girl for you.

She has the most insane talent for creating the cutest graphics, that have a rich palette of colours, coupled with simple, well designed creations that could make the sourest of people coo with delight! But wait that is not all this sweet pixie has a gift for, she also has a way with photo-manipulation that shows a more mature side of her nature, with well constructed artworks that engage and delight the viewer.

A must see gallery :D

THE FANG

What can I say about the quirky, deviously witty and oh so talented Fangfingers :iconfangfingers:?

Not much that would do this versatile deviant justice. Known for his signature Fangisms as well as his art, dear Fang is a deviant well worth watching.

So make your own water mark and use it ifn it bothers you. The can't sell anything worth while by right clicking and copying your shots because the quality will only really make a postcard size shot! I see you unclick the download button.. good!

I used to watermark my work, but as I am little known I have grown complacent :P I was using the da watermark, but it often covers the best part of an image. so i just upload smaller images. but still >.> i didn't think i'd be as cranky as I was. I really don't mind if people want to use my stuff if they ask me, then credit and link. I guess part of the outrage I feel is that they didn't ask. And didn't bother to have a comment saying that it was by such and such an artist that can be found at such a such place... I have the temper of a red headed irish man I think :P

there are certain images I have that will be going into competitions and such, those are the ones I am rigorously defending :P and the ones that feature my kids :) which won't be a problem anymore as I have decided to remove them completely from DA :D If they had contacted me and asked me first I would have said yeah sure, as long as you link back to my Da gallery.

You have to be careful, there was a girl on Elftown who had someone using her art, then claimed it as her own. It got to the stage where this art pirate was also claiming to be this girl... like creepy identity theft stuff.

Mind you i don't expect that to happen to me :P but it doesn't hurt to be vigilant, and to know who is using your art, and where :)

omgosh :( I can;t believe someone would do something so rude as to use a picture of someone else's child to illustrate a dirty joke. I bet that they'd never use a picture of one of their own.

*hugs* That's awful :(
I'm terrible with backing up too, it just seems to take so long, but I guess it's worth it in the end :(
I hope you get back into it soon.

Maybe the solution is to make it fun or part of the process, like as soon as you put it on the computer, you then burn it to a disc, label it (maybe with a cute label maker thing)????
