Bad News (for me)
Matt
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that my development plans will be hardly delayed :(
Why? Because I recently upgraded to the final version of Windows 8 Pro, and of course I forgot to backup like everything on my computer ://

So yeah, all my projects and everything else got wiped away, and I got to start all over with all my published projects (so I can keep updating them).

Thanks for your attention, and wish me good luck from here on :S

I know, I got my own 1 TB HDD (external), but I have only used it for images :(
Well, at least I've learned, lol :P

3 important things to remember when installing a new OS:

1. Backup
2. Backup
3. Make sure its backed up lol

Also if you have an external drive why not set Visual Studio save location to the external drive.

I know, it's stupid ......
Thanks for the tip, i'll do that :)

I started programming a long time ago, and I didn't really care for a backup back then :S

I keep my backups in 3 or more places at once. 1 backup on my secondary computer, one on my flash and 3rd on Skydrive. This time, I placed it on Google Drive and my 3rd computer as well. I'll be keeping these backups until I install the final version of Windows 8 and get stable. That'll mean as soon as my exams finish in April or May. That's very far away, I know! But I won't be doing any heavy activity on the computer until then. Nowadays, I just check certain websites, email accounts and do a little gaming for a couple of minutes, that's all. One thing I've improved on, is typing. I can type without looking at the keyboard, and it is 90% correct. And that means thew whole keyboard, including the numberpad as well.

And Cody, I'm saying this for the 3rd time, check the PM I sent you (It was about a month or two ago).

#Usman55, why don't you resend your PM to Cody lol?
Instead of LOL use this -

Which means -
Laughing silently in between my head because it wasn't funny enough to actually laugh out loud!
