Loosing files

Something happened to Microsoft Word this afternoon and it refused to save. Not only did it refuse to save, it also deleted the original file that it was attempting to replace! Horror of horrors! Two days worth of work up in smoke!

I tried to recover the files using the usual tricks but found nothing. Imagine my feelings...

After a number of fruitless attempts, I changed the file settings to display hidden files and managed to find some interesting documents which tracked changes made to my file. I was then able to use these to recreate most of the original. After an hour of work I had rebuilt it from the various textual jigsaw pieces... Blessed relief!

Meetings

I had lunch with Alastair Wood and we talked about Fresh Expressions and Pioneer Ministry - and how Scripture Union might get involved in Fresh Expressions in MK. It looks like they might host one of the Mission Shaped Intros and possibly help with some admin. This will be good.

I then had a session with Tim Clapton to discuss the use of computers and on-line communions. Our minds were bubbling...

Wedding Rehersal

Iona was at work so I spent the afternoon tinkering with my new computer. I'm still struggling with the need to find drivers for a 64 bit XP system - not all manufacturers have produced them. The question I may have to consider is whether to upgrade to Vista... Will this solve the problems or create new ones?

This evening I had the rehearsal for Jerry and Annette's wedding.
