Just had one of those OH CRAP! moments.  I intended to delete all the files in my folder with "par" as part of the name.  Worked great...except it also deleted my PARAMETER folder with all my M3D thumbnails and parameters!  Luckily, everything through yesterday was backed up, and I've posted the 15 or 18 missing parameters on Google Plus.  So I can get them back, but it sure would be nice to have batch M3P -> TXT and batch TXT -> M3P capability.  So happy that I've been sharing all my parameters on G+ though.  Not only does it allow others to play with them, but really saves my bacon when I do something uber dumb!

If you have followed my journal for the last three years, you know about my fight with an insurance company that used my computer's ability to render fractals as some justification that I was not disabled. They have now agreed, however, to arbitration in the case.  It is scheduled for next Tuesday.  It is going to be an all day ordeal and I will be spending it between my wheelchair and a reclining camp chair that I am going to have to bring myself. My ordeal with my insurance company may go away next week....but so may all information I have posted about what they have put me through.  If you want to see/archive it before it is possibly gone
