Earlier today I had mentioned that I have a new home PC. Since I am trying to keep this one as free of clutter as possible I needed to find a solution for storing my captures else where. Because I do almost zero cloud storage of my photos I decided to start backing them up on discs and my second drive on the old my PC. I set up the old PC on my desk in the back office/Brides study room . This PC is set up in the living room in a computer armoire. There are two reasons for that: One is I want to be close to The Bride when she is not studying and secondly to keep my PC safe from the cats because they can bend an anvil!
As I was working on backing my shots up I went through my old desk , which I have not used for a long while, and found my solution for keeping my new PC less junked-up: Two thumb- drives. Score! I will download and edit on my slowly-but-yet-surely-less-cluttered PC and added the media from the thumb-drive. Nice.Since I had a plan and felt it well I went for a little walkabout on our place with my Canon Powershot S3is and the new-to-the-outside cat, Butterfly, as me companions. So here are a few from the day.







Make sure that you use good practice by stopping and unmounting the flash drives before you remove them from a computer. Once or twice a month someone brings me a flash drive that they’ve yanked out of their computer while it was still writing the directory. That corrupts the directory and it takes me hours to recover the information on the drive. Great photos. I love autumn.
Thanks! I love Autumn too….Winter not so much….
As far as the drives go I Cruzer drives by Scan Disk and I have to eject them from the drives OS. So far I have had no problems with them. Yet I do have the ability, like my cats, to bend anvils so I am keeping my fingers crossed.
