Gone out the window

[cyrano]

And I just put over two hours of work into track selection on the Middle Eastern mix disc. At which point my computer kindly froze up and forced a reboot, thus assuring that all of the work would vanish.
I am now going to go do something else.

My suspicion is that if I quit out of the program entirely and then restart, it usually saves my work. But with a traumatic shutdown like that, the only guarrantee is a piece of notebook paper where I scrawl my selections down, or bringing up all the files I've chosen in the burning software.

The big problem, again, is that I lost track of how much time and energy I'd put into the work, because I was absorbed in it until I was wrenched out of it by the shut down and said to myself 'holy crap it's eleven o'clock.'
