I'm just happy to see you whenever you show up, my friend. :)<br /><br />No--the carpet in the hallway is just dented down--no stains. And the bookcase around the corner is going to ft right in those dents just perfectly--ROFL!<br /><br />That bookcase holds all the art and craft books and instructions. Every time I move bookcases I wonder if I have too many books....??? ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-1663823665534328352010-03-30T09:50:53.715-05:002010-03-30T09:50:53.715-05:00Serena--so your backup plan can crash, too.

One of mine just stopped working last year but, as mentioned, I did have the same info stored on my other external/portable drive as well as burned to DVD. There was no warning at all. :(Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-88498121659556221172010-03-26T03:11:03.226-05:002010-03-26T03:11:03.226-05:00Hi Serena!
Do you mean back up that portable hard ...Hi Serena!<br />Do you mean back up that portable hard drive? I thought that was my backup? Do they crash, too? Good grief!<br /><br />I know I have to learn how to put my new stuff on the portable every so often. Right now, I have only added pictures--almost all of which are on the blog and therefore saved automatically on Picasa. So, it would not be a tragedy if I lost them off my computer because they are backed up in cyberspace, too. But eventually I will have pictures of friends/family, pictures I save for art projects, etc--stuff I don't post, you know?<br /><br />I think, at first, it was "where" we tried to store the pictures--on iPhotos. That has it's own way of organizing your pictures for you--automatically. That is the place your camera photos go--automatically. But we moved everything into other areas of the computer/laptop and now I eventually have to move my camera photos elsewhere to add them to the other 12,000 after I have used them in iPhoto. I got lost trying to put them away--moving them out of iPhotos and into the recesses of the computer brain--hehe! It might not all give me a headache later when I feel better and can think more clearly. I may even be able to figure it all out, right? "I Can See Clearly Now..." remember that song? ;)<br /><br />Dagan has been using Linux because it is supposed to have less virus and crashing problems...which sounded good to me. Worth learning how to navigate. Really giving the foggy old pain-brain too much of a work out--ROFL! It will get better, right? It always does. (These fibro pain loops are the pits! But I can eventually ease my way out of them.) I'm going to let Dagan read what you mentioned about Firefox, too. Thanks! :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-85024933154782356432010-03-26T02:48:32.550-05:002010-03-26T02:48:32.550-05:00Hi AliceKay,
Getting rid of the 30 gallon fish tan...Hi AliceKay,<br />Getting rid of the 30 gallon fish tank opened up possibilities--hehe! Leah and I have plans for this new bookcase one day that is made with many, many short shelves for documents/paperwork and has doors on the front to keep the dust out. We'll move the bookcase that's in the entryway into the empty spot around the corner in the hallway (same size bookcase) and put the new enclosed bookcase in the entryway (more light and room to swing doors open). We want to store all our craft paper, my smaller art paper, and the craft instructions for sure. Then I have reams of computer paper, magazines, and possibly even actual paperwork that can go in there. All of which will free up space elsewhere and keep our craft paper away from sunlight/fading and they can be stored flat (no warps/bends). Everybody has to have a dream, right? hehe! May take us 2-3 years, but we'll get it one day. :):)<br /><br />Yes--my brain is too pain-foggy to concentrate on something new right now. The photos will wait. Aren't going anywhere. :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-89344057240880952542010-03-25T15:07:09.930-05:002010-03-25T15:07:09.930-05:00P.S. - I've been using Firefox more than Inter...P.S. - I've been using Firefox more than Internet Explorer lately. I like that it's faster to load and the new blog layouts look better on-screen with it because it allows the little extra features. The last Firefox upgrade had a glitch tho which caused it to crash frequently and that was a little frustrating. Thankfully, they did put out a fix fairly quickly and now, no probs. The only thing I notice is that when Firefox upgrades its browser on occasion, my bank takes its time adjusting their coding so, temporarily, I can't use the newer Firefox browser. When this happens, I just open Internet Explorer and do my online banking through that until my bank adjusts its coding to accept the newer Firefox browser upgrade.Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-88057474330351010452010-03-25T14:57:00.485-05:002010-03-25T14:57:00.485-05:00The bookcase looks fab in its new spot!

I know you probably already do this but be sure to back up all your have on that external drive to DVD. External drives have been known to just crash with no prior warning....it happened to me last year with one of two external drives I use. Lucky for me, I had the info on my main external drive as well as backed up on DVD.<br /><br />I've never used Linux but Bradley, my son, seems intent on installing it when he's saved up for a new computer. I've heard it's supposed to be easy to work with and does not put a huge strain on the computer. Take your time with the photos....learn the new Linux system first and build your confidence a little more. I've never worked with iPhoto so don't understand how it can be so different from a created folder system of storage BUT I'm sure you will gradually get used to it...baby steps are key. xoSerena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-20648244884407812512010-03-25T14:40:47.817-05:002010-03-25T14:40:47.817-05:00The bookshelf looks great.

You'll get to the photos when you feel like you can handle them. If you're like me, things go much easier when you have a clear mind and actually feel like doing a certain project. Next thing you know, it's done. :)<br /><br />I hope the rest of your day was a good one.AliceKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027650364526343030noreply@blogger.com
