Backing Up

Typing on a borrowed computer, no spellcheck or word count, no thesaurus and no saved files for updating the newsletter. Worst of all, the space bar is temperamental. I miss my computer but I will have it back soon. Just trying to sort out the car and job stuff.

How addicted are you to your computer and the information you have stored in it? Could you go without for a day, two days, a week? What would you miss most? Which are the really important files that you can’t do without? What about other things like that desktop wallpaper you saved from that really neat website?

All kind of things you rely on your computer for. So, wouldn’t this be a good time to back it up. At least make copies of information you don’t have a back up for. What are you doing tonight that you couldn’t put off to take the time to back up your files? Won’t you wish you had when it’s too late?

Get a CD burner (if you can) and back up your important files and data once a month. You can use a rewrite able CD and just copy over the same files each month. Even the regular CD’s are not very expensive. Whichever way you do it, back up your files on a regular basis. You never know when you will be without your computer: whether it’s permanent or just while traveling or having repairs done, etc.

Really a Rock Garden


Graham must like rocks as much as I do. He has them all around his house. The gardens and lawn are huge there but around the house itself are just rocks and a very few cacti. (Yes, cactus in Canada, growing wild and outdoors all year long).

This is a rock picture from his house. I was looking forward to the rock pictures at least as much (maybe more) than the rose pictures. But they were the ones I took and goofed up. I did this one yesterday just before the camera decided it was full, 36 pictures were stored on it so that is better than a roll of film which gets 26 if you push it. Anyway, I will take more rock pictures next time I drive down there. This one I will keep but I will crop it before using it as desktop background.
