LunaAnd two years later...

...I’m still on it :P

I know this is an ongoing project, but I’d like to get to the point where everything is organized and that I just have to maintain the new stuff.

Just a few weeks ago, I had to erase completely and reinstall the software. I was able to backup everything despite the fact that I couldn’t get into my user as it was “frozen”, and I just couldn’t get in.

  1. sort mail > 0% advance
  2. sort iphoto > 25%
  3. figure a way to improve its performance, among other things 100% I’m using separate libraries to have less items in each one
  4. sort documents > 20%
  5. sort bookmarks > 50%
  6. sort CDs > 100% I copied what I needed into my Time Capsule,and everything got put into its respective folder
  7. sort fonts > 5% 3 years ago

LunaLarger undertaking

This has become a larger undertaking than I originally projected. Somehow, it’s hard to believe that such a tiny iBook 12” can put up with all my disastrous accumulation of stuff. My purpose now is to break this objective into smaller goals, so I can feel a greater sense of accomplishment as I carry out the tasks:
  1. sort mail (which is another goal in my 43things)
  2. sort iphoto and figure a way to improve its performance, among other things
  3. sort documents
  4. sort bookmarks
  5. sort CDs
  6. sort fonts (another goal in 43T) 6 years ago

LunaMajor spring cleaning!!

Well, not only did I clean and back up my mac, but I completely erased it and reinstalled all the software again.

It was displaying obvious crashing symptoms, so I took the decision to start from scratch again before it died on me and lose all my stuff! Gasp!

I feel so much better now —sigh— It’s running super smoothly :)

I still need to organize it better, so I’m not yet checking off this goal just yet… but soooo much I’ve accomplished so far :) 6 years ago


LunaI'm on it

It’s taking forever. How someone can accumulate such a load of files is beyond me :S

Plus I have backups here, duplicates there, and just a bunch of unfiled and unorganized files everywhere...

This is a major spring cleaning I need to do. 6 years ago
