COR13 Curse of the Missing Text

Unlucky 13…

Shouldn’t be working on Halloween’s Eve anyway, not even to sort out some minor details.

My file has only partly been converted to RTF; by that I mean that most of it is missing. I worked on that file over 3 days. It contains most of the scientific notes for my NaNo novel. Still, I should be grateful that it seems to be intact on the Palm itself.

That part which has been converted has lost all formatting and random page breaks have been inserted everywhere. I dare not write large documents on this wretched machine!

After re-saving the file (making sure to select ‘save as text’), my card-reader cum card is now stuck in the USB hub. Windows (I’m not a fan of Windows!) first failed to recognize the disk, then failed to open it and now fails to stop it. The red light shines menacingly at me: I dare not remove the thing.

Some malware has entered the system. I dare not restart it.

Happy Halloween
