Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Thursday, June 30, 2005

You know the plastic cases that packs of 50 or 100 CD-R's come in? With the pole up the middle? Hang on to 'em. Every now and then (more now than then, preferably) copy your most important files onto a CD. Label the CD with the contents and date (nothing fancy, a Sharpie will do) and drop it onto the spindle.

Keep doing this and pretty soon you'll have a handy archive of your files. The most recent version will be on top for easy access (in case you need to recover a document) and older versions can be had simply by digging further down the stack.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
