I spent the day doing chores, including one I’ve put off for a few years. I finally got around to cleaning out my harddrive.
Now, I know that OS X 10.4 makes ordering your files unnecessary due to the great serach functions. Still, my Apple is an older one that I don’t think would take the upgrade so well. On top of that, great search doesn’t necessarily help you overcome accidental redundancies. Plus, there’s something to be said for good ol’ organization. As in, it’s easier for me to look and find things if I know where they are, instead of having to search for them. It’s funny, I was nearing capacity on current storage, but between eliminating redundnacies, figuring out where stuff should go, and all that jazz, I found forty gigs of extra space on the machine. On top of that, I saw (for me) a staggering number. I’ve filled the computer with over 30 gigs of written material.
30 gigs of material might not seem like much, but when you consider that it’s all text, I’m like, holy crap. I’ve written all this junk … I need to figure out some way to DO something with more of it. I have these ephiphinies every couple of years. I just hope I can figure out a good plan this time. ‘Hannibal’ Smith style. Only no explosions. Or cars flipping over. A guy with a mohawk who can build an airplane out of a garbage can would be cool, though.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
