Computers lol
Well, I've mostly got my new computer set up. Of course I get to come down with some annoying bug this week and feel like crap all week... (Not CoViD-19... just stupid guts made super delicate and susceptible to the slightest little thing by a lengthy period of very high stress allowing me to get some stupid bug. I'm not feeling well enough to go to work, but mostly not sick enough to stay in bed all day. So in the interim of the time I don't feel to crappy to do ANYTHING at ALL, I sit here and work on setting up my computer or writing.
So... For the most part, the computer is set up the way I want it. It's now been a matter of finally transferring data from different places. Now my office computer Aka Silver Drake becomes the secondary computer. So files from there are copied here. It never had all my files in the first place. That was done weeks ago, and the thumb drive used for that transfer was all moved onto the Vaio aka The Dragonette.
The Dragonette, I only moved a limited number of files to in the first place since I only intended to continue using it for writing, so the writing files of which were the most up to date are moved to the Dragonfly. The music files I found on the Dragonette are also moved to Dragonfly now, and I sorted them as well. So now the Vaio is finished.
Last I guess is going to be moving things that have remained on the Fire Drake computer (predecessor to the Silver Drake) which I never moved all of completely. Mostly this is Photos, Music, Artwork, and Manga. lol... SO much that It's going to take several trips back and forth with the thumb drive. Right now... Loading Manga, Writing I did not transfer in the first place, and my other eBooks. Music is probably going to be the biggest. I'm 100% sure that the music I moved from the Vaio was minimal, because it's only what I found on my backup CD's and put on to listen to. I mean, I have to wonder how much of The Crüxshadows I'm going to be able to listen to on Amazon Music! Lol And I have quite a lot of it. So the transfer goes on. The trick here is that the FireDrake (aptly named) Overheats EASILY, so I have to be careful to make sure it doesn't get overloaded while copying. It's on the fan, and it's fairly chilly up here (I have a heated blankey. But I have to really watch what it's doing. It already went to sleep once on me.
Meanwhile, I am working on Chapter 18 - What If... I set a soft deadline for January 15 and I intend to try to meet it. I decided to start using yWriter7 to work on this. I already use it when I'm working on Gaia's Song, but I had never really thought to use it for something more 'trivial'. lol. But I think it's going to be helpful to stay organized too.
