I came to the office thinking. OH I will get some backup work done.
The joys using a HDD for backup and carrying images back and forth to the house and office. So I thought this shouldnt be that bad I only have a few jobs that need to be burned to disk.

Dah... Few jobs turned into 12 disks later and I am still not even half way done. I really should have learned to burn my jobs as i go along. No not since i have 2 or 3 copies of working files on different comptures at any given time. I just dont see the point to making the backup to dvd.

After the crash of 06 I see the need to backup jobs to dvd's. I really need to looking into some back up software, I know I am lazy and will not do what I should.

I just wish I had an alter ego like I dont now PIKA that would sit here and load the dvd's and check the files to make sure the source and copy each match than sit and watch the progress bar for an hour as it copies. Then go through and delete each folder you just copied.

Damn, I should really get off my meds and then I could have my friend Keith back. Those where the days. Keifer always got into trouble and I was always left to take the blame. One time Keith told me about war dailing .... well of course I had to give it try. And yes keith was right after 48 hours straight we had 10 banks 8 department stores 12 schools and 20 different gov offices. Lucky for me keith dissappeared before he could tell me just what to do with those numbers.The police wanted to meet keifer too. keith didnt like it when I went to see the special happy doctor.. The Happy doctor just liked to talk about what i was doing and who i was doing it with.

And the happy doctor gave me some pills and keith said if keep taking those pills he will not tell me how to use the information that we had gotten. Probably for the best. good times....
