organize my computer

Unfortunately I was avoiding other, more important things that need to be organized, like financial paperwork, but it was good to get rid of some old junk on my computer.

And even better, I decided to send a short e-mail to an old friend that I haven’t heard from since 2006, and she responded last night. It was really nice to hear from her. :)

There’s lots more old junk to be cleaned up on my computer, but this is a relatively low priority, so I don’t know that I’ll leave it on my open goal list very long.

Do you enjoy being concerned about where things end up on your computer? Do you enjoy not letting yourself put things on your desktop? All organizing your computer will do is make you care about these things and an organized computer is a very difficult thing to maintain. In the end, you’ll only become less happy with the organization of your files.

It’s kind of a waste of time.

I managed to back up… and now bit by bit…am sorting… 50.000 photos!!! what a chaos!

Nearly every day I get a little pop-up in the corner of my screen saying “you are low on space”. I also have dozens and dozens of folders and subfolders which could all be neatly made into a couple of different folders. I think backing all of these things up on a disc wouldn’t be a bad idea, anyway, and there are always those photo uploading accounts for pictures as well.

A quick update. I eventually managed to make DVDs but I now have a pile of about a hundred with labels, saying what photos or music are on them. Not a good idea.
My laptop got so incredibly full that every time I took photos I had to delete all the photos of the previous trip…possibly meaning I’d lose them!

So I bought myself an External Hard Drive, Toshiba, 1TB. Only £70 though I may update someday and get one with proper insurance. INCREDIBLY HANDY! It stores everything I need, just need to finalise some of the folders, put things exactly where I want them…

Highly recommended.

I have four computers that I’m on all of the time. Alas I have networked them, but my stuff is all over the place. I need to clear that up.

My computer is operating like a piece of junk…slow and frustrating and nothing’s working quite right. I want to upgrade my programs, delete what I don’t use, organize my documents, music and pictures…and so on and so forth.

Very worth it, it’s like organizing your mind.

But I have yet to sort through the same folder on Ubuntu. And then, after that, I still have many more folders to go through. I occasionally sort the “junks” folder in my Home directory, so that should be the place I start.

From here on, I’ll try to work on this goal for at least ten minutes every day.

Tried backing up a load of files like photos onto DVD-R’s with Nero but half of them failed!!!
GGGRRRrrr!
