    LunaNueva is celebrating her 43rd year of life!

    And two years later... 4 weeks ago

    ...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%

    Larger undertaking 2 years ago
    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)

    Major spring cleaning!! 2 years ago

    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 :)

    I'm on it 2 years ago

    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.
