Is it the 5th already? :(

Wednesday, December 5th, 2012 at 2:06 am

I know I’m so behind on blog posts. Still have to do my monthly posts…

So, on Friday the 30th, I went to this huge work party. You probably saw the pics on Facebook :)
I was awake my usual time Friday…but I stayed up til 6am. Not too bad…except…I spent 6pm-3am drinking and partying. So it was tiring.

But that’s not all. See, one of our friends got pass-out drunk. It fell on Z and I to take care of her cuz we said we’d drive her home earlier than night.

Story missing

I slept at 6am after a 2-3 hour shift of taking care of her, making sure she was okay while she slept.

We all, including my drunk friend, woke up at 9am and we drove her home.

3 hours of sleep, after a 21 hour day, 10 of which was partying. Came home, slept about 45 minutes before having to go to another commitment.

Anyways, it was dumb of us…but surprise surprise, I got sick. I have a cough, which I’m trying to get rid of ASAP.

I have an expectorant. Used a Netty Pot a few times a day. Have a humidifier. Some Vicks Vapor Rub. Neo Citran. I’m drinking warm water around the clock. Just took an antihistamine. I’m doing everything I can to get better. If I could just get tired and sleep…I’d be happy.

That’s it for now. More posts to come, I swear.

Good night!

Notes
Have to go to the US to pick up a bunch of these. Was planning to go a couple of weeks ago but being sick derailed my plans…

Bought 3 Links because I plan/hope to sell 2 of eBay in a couple years for a decent amount. What happened was that North America failed to get the license for the toy…meaning you can only get the toy if you import it…because supply just went way down and demand has increased. So in a few years, when there are even less of them…I’m sure I’ll be able to get more than I paid :) I just have to hold onto them for a bit…

Backing stuff up is serious business

Thursday, November 29th, 2012 at 3:15 am

I recently bought 2x 3TB External Hard drives…for backup purposes.
For me, being as careful as I am, I need 2 backups. That’s always been my plan..though right now, I only use 1. Backups are the type of thing that you regret not having when it’s too late. I can’t be caught unprepared!

My plan is:
4 frequent backups of important files a year
1 backup of important files + less important files a year

Both sets of files above, including the drive with the original files, will mean I need 3 Hard Drives.
Because you never know when your hard drive might fail and it’s happened enough to me, and my friends, to know I can’t be caught unprepared.
And you never know, someone might break in to your place and steal your computer too…

Realistically speaking, these are my “need to backup frequently, cannot be replaced” items.
80 GB of VHS tape conversions
35 GB of Backup files (can’t be replaced, accumulated in the past 16 years – seriously, i still have .wav files from 1996…)
19 GB of Development files (all my professional and personal web stuff and photoshop stuff…20 GB worth of files)
29 GB of Camera Photos
It’s only…about 160 GB worth

My “Nice to backup” includes
36 GB of Kotobishouho Bishoujo PSDs and images (and this is only like, 1/6 of the files)
17 GB of images/”my stuff” (cool images from anime, comics, fav artists, etc)
17 GB of Anime Intro/Outro files (i can re-make these, if required…though I wouldn’t want to)
40 GB of Programs
That’s about 110 GB

And then all my media files:
22 GB Comics
6 GB Manga
542 GB Movies
21 GB Music
2.55 TB (Terabytes) of Anime, Cartoons, and Shows
and while that totals a lot, 80% of it can be re-obtained so I don’t care if I lose them. I just need to create an inventory list of these items with a little help from my friend Command Prompt: dir /b /s > inventory.txt

Anyways, I need to figure out, how these hard drives will all work together. so that I can backup my stuff on 2 separate hard drives. And for the one I only do once/year, I will try to keep it unplugged and far away from my other computer stuff.

.
.
.

I know it sounds SO OVERKILL but as a person who spends…a lot of time on the computer, I really don’t want to risk losing my stuff.

Okay, that’s all. Need to sleep, have a 1.5 hours development presentation tomorrow (that I’m leading)! YIKES!

….it’s been a while

Tuesday, November 27th, 2012 at 3:20 am

9 days?! it’s been 9 days since i left a blog post?
Where has the time gone?

Nothing new with me.

Bought 2x 3TB External Harddrives for $120 each. Backing up files is very important to me.
Bought a 64GB MicroSD card for $45, down from $170 (Black Friday deal)
Bought a new office chair to replace my decade old chair for $226

Had a hot pot dinner last Friday and an engagement/wedding type thing last Saturday.

Going to be busy this week with my Facebook App. It’s due in like, 2 days >_< Watching a lot of the 1987 Ninja Turtles lately. Going to the US this weekend I think for some shopping. I guess that’s it. Sorry to disappoint, life’s just been busy.
