Hurray!

I never did post yesterday, like planned.

I just wanted to throw joyous news around, saying that I've fixed my sleeping habits now. My schedule is more or less back on track. I mean it's always a bit to hell because I've always been a night person. Woo for night owls!

Anyway, so I went to bed... Well, I don't remember, but I fell asleep at half past one, and I slept all god damned night, and I got up before eleven and it was bright in my room. Daylight, daylight, freaking SUN! On my face. WHAT EVEN!

Yesterday night I left my computer on to transfer files. Over 400gb of stuff! To my new external. (Called Martin Crieff, oops! What? Shush. I was going to call it just Martin, but that wasn't as fun because I have a distant friend named Martin, although we mostly call him Marty, and hmm... So full name it was! Martin Crieff. Nom!)

Now everything is organized and backupped and brilliantly brilliant! Took all night, and then two hours manual work today. What with the moving other minor folders and files, and the sorting, and yeah.

Dang, I feel accomplished! Also safe. So safe. I've lived with a tiny, tiny computer (when it comes to space and memory and yadayadablah, that is) and only one external with all my shit saved on it... and if that one died, poof, bye-bye, life!

Well, I mean, I've tried to have backups in other places, but I've never had enough room to backup everything.

That's that! Next project should be catching up with shows.

Oh well.
I'm off.

Glad to read your sleeping habbits have improved.
So when you open your External Hard Drive (HDD) on your screen does it actually say like,: H:Martin Crieff ? That'be cool ^^

'Course! I literally renamed it, not just in my head. It's Martin Crieff, from Cabin Pressure!

And my flashdrive is Greg, from Flashpoint.

My first external is simply called "My Book" which made me think of the character called, well, Book. From Firefly. But it was "H:" at first, on my last computer, and that made me think of one Walter Harriman from Stargate SG-1. Or... maybe it was "G:" first and then H:. Well, either way, I also thought of Gary (Jones) which is the name of the actor playing Walter Harriman.
So that one's... Well, gosh, I don't even know. Walter, Gary, Book-Harriman or something. Hahahaha! But only in my head.

It's still officially "My Book", the way it was when born bought.

And yes, thank you!
I feel much better when I sleep like a proper person.
