Well, it has been a thunderstorm filled weekend and thunderstorms bring with them power outages. When you are working on a project you try to frequently save, but many times you get working for a while and you get into the zone. Then lightning strikes, you lose 40 minutes of work and you can hear a collective groan through the entirety of Dyson Lab.
After the first power outage people try to remember to save as often as possible, and you hear about every 10 minutes a good Samaritan from somewhere in the building yelling "SAVE!" Everyone collectively curses and hits "Ctrl+S" in order to save their progress, but still they wait in fear that they could lose precious time.
After the 3rd power outage people just pack up and leave, it is frustrating to even lose 10 minutes of work. You have to remember what you changed and how. When the power goes out you get out of your groove and have to restart the computer, sign back in, get your music playlist back up (without checking your facebook) and get your program back up and running.
So this blog post isn't really on topic, but it kind of is. It is safe to say I have started blocking out my level but in class I just watched the other students play boardgames while I tried to fight against the computer. I should have just played boardgames.
