these periodic word errors. i wish i understood what the deal with them was.

i notice every once in a while that the size of the document has shrunk, and the reason is that the formatting has changed, and i don't know why that happens. but, i went through and tried to reconstruct it today, and the parts that came out of sync were the parts related to the conversations i had with the activists, like ESA, that i'm absolutely certain were cops.

i decided to try to rebuild the damaged file from scratch to see what would happen and i ended up getting a series of ram errors that shut the program down, which led me to reboot - which clears my ram. i still don't see any signs of infiltration.

but, what's going on?

is it just a hardware issue?

listen. i have everything backed up in several different places, and i take regular backups of these files. further, i have the document set to autosave every couple of minutes. so, all i had to do to undo the corruption, whatever it was, was find a recent backup and run a compare in notepad++ to a recent autosave. at the least, there's nothing missing. but, i'll have to verify that i didn't lose any additions, before i finish this up.

the level of data redundancy makes the premise of tampering with evidence in this manner highly improbable. 

i'm going to take the opportunity to stop to eat, but i should be done with the master document for december before i sleep, and would be done already if i didn't have to spend time making sure i didn't lose anything. i have everything updated except for some random html documents, which shouldn't be nearly as time consuming as before because there's only a few files.

as is broadly the case, this kind of bullshit is just a waste of time.

i can't keep you off my network, i know that. but, i assure you that you won't succeed in doing much that i can't undo, once you get in. so, we'll make this sisyphean, and hope you give up.
