    Super Secret Cider Squeezy 6000 Cancelled.

    Well, there we go. I guess this was bound to happen eventually.

    I'm not going to be too philosophical about the whole thing. I'm only going to say that I've learned a lot as a writer from when I first started writing it - it was the second or so story that I started - and now I've learned a new lesson entirely: when to stop writing.

    Windows 10 Ate My Laptop and I Am Now An Expat

    That's about as accurate a title as I've ever done. Apparently a software glitch caused Win10 to dissolve itself just enough to warrant a total format of the laptop. None of the repair options worked, and the whole C drive got wiped during a failed repair process. Now, I back-up a lot of things, but I don't do it every single day or every time I have something new to back up - I will now! - so

    Super Secret Cider Squeezy 6000 Update Coming Soon!

    For those of you waiting to see how SSCS6k (never noticed how weird the title looked like that until now) turns out, fear not! An update is coming and it shouldn't take that long to make. Hopefully it'll be done in one to two weeks.

    On Freemane's Mind and the future

    First of all, thank you everyone who read, favorited, liked or disliked Freemane's Mind!

    I am very happy that I started it, and even more so that I managed to finish it.

Windows 10 Ate My Laptop and I Am Now An Expat · 12:03am Oct 30th, 2015

That's about as accurate a title as I've ever done. Apparently a software glitch caused Win10 to dissolve itself just enough to warrant a total format of the laptop. None of the repair options worked, and the whole C drive got wiped during a failed repair process. Now, I back-up a lot of things, but I don't do it every single day or every time I have something new to back up - I will now! - so you can see where this is going.

A few pages of SSCS6k are gone and I'm only now starting to add back to them. Compounding the problem is a little piece of news I forgot to share earlier this month: I've moved to another country! You can imagine how much time that leaves for writing, between looking for a job, settling in and meeting new people. Well, I need to do more of that last one, but still.

It's all a bit overwhelming, but in a good way.

Oh, and fuck Windows 10.

I know the next laptop I buy, when I can afford it, will come with 10, but for now I'm once again enjoying the stability of Win 7, even if it's now quite as shiny and useful.

And I have to say, I love my laptop. This thing is indestructible. I just have to make sure to keep Update KB3035583 very much unchecked the next time I have to update it.
