Computer limbo; hard drive lives are over twice as quickly as dogs lives
In somewhat of computer limbo these days.
Am accessing the Internet through a hard drive that is definitely on life support, so far held out for 6+ years (like dog years are 7:1 wonder if someone should start hard drive years approx. 14:1).
My new 120GB seagate and previous maxtor storage drive 60GB are in the shop. Basically they're porting over all the data to the 120GB drive and I'll reformat the maxtor to be my system drive. Apparently there was a problem with data recovery and now they're having to use "low-level tools" to recover my stuff "sob".
So no posting to Flickr because my usual workflow = images transfer from Canon 350D > computer > quick edits via Picasa > upload to Flickr.
175 jpegs waiting to upload (mostly "before" pictures for our new place), but also some from recent biz trip to Spain.
