well, that was fun

... let's never do it again. -___-

So, woke up this morning, found out the power had flickered sometime around... 2:30 AM last night? And during the one night I actually went to bed before 5:00 AM too. When I was trying to send someone a huge file overnight. I really hope we can resume that...

Anyway, turned on the computer, checked a few things to make sure the computer didn't get fried or something like Dad's did a few weeks ago when the power blew out. It looked okay, was running alright, I still had all my programs. Except...

It looked like Firefox had started over. The entire thing, all my add-ons, pages in my history and passwords, which are many, were all gone. I was kind of freaking out because... I seriously have an awful memory; for the life of me, I could not remember all of my passwords, or what pages I had visited recently, or what all add-ons I had that I would need to replace.

I have no idea what happened but as I was going through the Firefox homepage to try and re-download my add-ons at the very least, I restarted Firefox and... it came back. Everything. So, um, not freaking out anymore so much as... trying to figure out wtf happened in the first place. XD;;

However, I did come to the conclusion that I really need to start backing up my stuff... my passwords at the least, and a list of what add-ons I have installed.

Also, my knee needs to stop aching in the middle of the night and keeping me up. >O It's just rude.

Guuuuuuh, it's so annoying to lose all of your firefox stuff. x_______x
And yeah you should probably back up your passwords XD;;;

That's never happened to me before, so.. yeah. I wouldn't know. ... except now I do. SO YES, IT IS ANNOYING. XD

Yeah. Once I... figure out how.. I definitely will.

sdfjsdhkjfsjs I would cry if that happened.

(but only a little, I screenshot all my bookmarks every two months)

I almost cried... but then it fixed itself, so.

Screenshot them? o-o

[ridsey.livejournal.com]

yess. I screenshot the names because then if they die I'll remember the url.

That's happened to me.... Two or three times.

I've never gotten my bookmarks back though.

I use Delicious now for bookmarks. Online storage of bookmarks = win.

... That sucks. Were they all just completely random when it happened?

Online bookmarking? Seriously?

[ed77warr.livejournal.com]

Once was completely random. The other time was after a computer crash.

Yes! It's quite nifty.
