I have a bad habit of keeping my USB key in my laptop at all times. It's a dangerous habit, and I found out the hard way the other day. Walking into the kitchen with my laptop, I accidentally bumped the key against the doorway. With anything else, it wouldn't have mattered, however, electronics, as we all know, is temperamental at best, and a bane of our existence at worst. So, of course now my computer won't even recognize that the key when I insert it, let alone allow me to pull any of my soap photos off it.
This is a real bother because I've had my website tackled by the very talented, and wonderfully sweet Wai of
WYV Designs, but we're missing some pictures and of course they're hidden deep in my USB key. The only positive I can see in this, is that I was planning on re-taking a lot of the photos anyway, and this forces me to do so.
However, if anyone knows which IT god I have to pray to to get my USB key functioning again, I'd love to hear from you.

I'm so sorry, Monica you had this accident happened. I think you need to have your USB key open in order to get to the chip and transfer your data from the card to another external hard disc.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be fine,don't worry!
Thank you Maja. I'm a pro at destroying things, but not so good at putting them back together, as my father will attest to. :D But thank you for the advice, I'll have to try and extricate the card because most of my soap life is on there.
DeleteHave you asked your usual tech experts? There must be some way to get the data off. Reading this reminded me that I needed to back up mine though, so thank you! (Just did it.)
ReplyDeleteCute lion too!
I'm going to try Maja's suggestion above since I don't work with techies anymore. Damn, I knew I shoudln't have left that department. :P
DeleteYes, definitely back up your back up, you just never know when you'll need it.
I love that lion, I'm almost sorry I sold him.
Oh, I am sorry for you, Monica, but I am so bad at those tech things... I wish I could help you!
ReplyDeleteThat lion is so sweet!
That's okay Natalia, you're an incredible soaper, so you can't be great at everything.
DeleteThanks, I rather like him as well. :)
Good luck! I know how temperamental that technology can be. I hope things get back up and running soon. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne-Marie. It's not the end of the world, but it is rather annoying.
DeleteSorry about your key...but on a side note, your site looks great (and that lion is adorable!!!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cee! The site is looking much better after Wai worked her magic.
DeleteYIKES! I know how frustrated you must be about not being able to extract your pictures :( Technology can certainly be a pain a lot of the time. Grrr!
ReplyDeleteyes, I'd like to tear my hair out over it Michelle, but I'm already shedding like a furry dog in the dead of summer.
DeleteThis is why I need to make friends with some tech savvy people, to save me from myself.
