Whelp... I'm home! And in one piece, too. =^.^=

[wolfwings]

As usual... I slept through most of the ride down, so I'm actually pretty rested. Poor meowse is coming down with something though, so his stomach/intestines are trying to mount an insurection. =-.-=

Unfortunately, he has 3 more hours of driving ahead of him to the San Diege airport, thankfully SigAlert.com helped us route a much nicer route for him to get there quickly.

Other than that... going to stay awake for a few hours, then crash out flatline if I'm not working today.

And mira_fastfire? I luuuuuuurve you. *nuzzles* And even more than that... I miss you, beautiful flower. *scritches*

*grins* glad you made it home safely!!

*blushes* I actually had a computer related question to ask you...my live-in computer genius is not up to the task.

*rolls eyes and begs prettily*

Sure, what's the question? =^.^=

Well...all my RP's from before Jim redid my computer a month or so ago got saved in a .DAT format. And I can't figure out how to open them up. And since I'm to be getting a new computer very soon...I'd like to know before it happens again hopefully. They were saved in the Yahoo folder, which I moved to my spare harddrive.

I really hope you can help...*hopeful chibi eyes*

Okay, explanation time...

First off, a quick check... try loading WordPad, and left-button-dragging one of the '.DAT' files onto WordPad, specifically, NOT notepad, but WordPad (Write in Windows 95 and some early versions of Windows 98) in this case.

If the files don't come up as anything remotely readable, then the explanation is very simple. They got saved in YIM's "internal" log format, instead of as a flat text file. It would require some tinkering to get YIM to read the log files again, but yes, I believe it could be done. It's not something I've done before with this specific set of circumstances, but I don't think you've lose anything at all, it's just in an akward file format at the moment. =^.^=

Click on the 'Start' menu, then click on 'run' and type in write and press enter.

Right...you're right, that was painfully easy.

Damn...it didn't work though.

What next oh Jedi Master?

Hrm... not sure. =-.-=

I'll have to investigate the options a bit, but I'm a little busy with looking at a new semi-temporary job leading into a move across state up to the Bay Area in a couple months, so prod me if I don't update you with an LJ post in a week or so? =^.^=

*tackleglomps wolf to the floor, squeezing the breath out of him in heartfelt thanks*
