Hey, guys. Sorry, I have some bad news. If you’ve been following me on Twitter, I’ve been stressing about it most of last night.

Basically, my desktop hard drive failed. This is the machine that has Photoshop, my scanner and everything else that makes Theater Hopper possible loaded on it. So, my hands are tied in terms of uploading anything new.

You might be asking how I’m uploading this blog post. Fortunately, our laptop still works and we’re able to draw a wireless signal from our router. But everything else is pretty much off the board at this point.

The good news right now is that I have everything backed up. So all of my old Theater Hopper artwork, family photos and video, all of our music, my job application data has all been saved to external hard drives. So I haven’t lost anything important.

Right now, it’s just a matter of finding the time to purchase and install a new hard drive before loading everything back onto it.

I’m watching Henry all day today and I have to study for my accounting mid term for Tuesday. So there is definitely a lot on my plate right now. All I can ask for is patience while I try to get myself re-situated.

The timing of this hard drive failure is kind of serendipitous. Some of you might remember that I experienced a similar situation last year and launched a huge donation drive to help me recover all of the data I lost.

Well, things aren’t as bad this time around, but there are still several of you that I owe artwork to as part of your donations.

Believe me, I’m embarrassed that it has taken me more than a year to get this artwork to you. But I want everyone that I still owe artwork to know that I haven’t forgotten about them. I still have everyone’s information and fully intend on completing my end of the bargain. All I can say in my defense is that 2009 has not been a very good year for me and it has been very, very difficult just to keep my head above water.

No one is putting pressure on me, or anything. So I have to say thank you for everyone being so understanding. But I’m putting pressure on myself and I want to get the work done. So I will do my best to deliver the artwork that I owe people in the near future.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding, follow me on Twitter if you want the latest updates and I will be in touch with everyone soon.

In the meantime, if you have suggestions or want to leave comments about how I can amend my hard drive situation, please feel free.
