Khan! (part 4) (Patreon)

You might have heard me mention that my computer broke (again). The SSD that windows was on started failing, so I spent Wednesday and most of Thursday trying to resolve the problem, the biggest being how to lose as little as possible. I had been planning to do a reinstall of Windows during the New Year break because of long term problems that I've been having, so the only two unfortunates of it are the timing and that I wasn't able to prepare ahead of time and streamline the process.

The timing is bad because everything is still being put back to rights, I don't even have the compression program running yet. Hence the fact that the latest Khan chapter is attached to this message in mp3 (Lone Wolf was compressed previously). The timing is also bad because it means no new videos until Monday at the earliest. I've got lots of things that are close to ready for production and they're all stuck, which pisses me off because I thought for the first time in a while I'd have all the rewards done before the last day of the month. Instead I spent Wednesday and most of Thanksgiving playing around in DOS.

I'm waiting for a new SSD to arrive, which should be here on Monday, so I'm spending the time finalizing scripts and restoring the system so that once it's in I can hit the ground running. My hope is to have the Star Trek IV video ready for officers and up that night, but it'll depend on how late the package arrives and how long it takes to copy everything off the backup drive (not to worry, I've got a secondary and tertiary backup of the most essential elements, just in case it fails). Hopefully things go smoothly. 

And of course, a belated note that this holiday I am, as always, thankful for your support! I'll try to get this latest crisis resolved with minimal disruption.
