Duplicates
I really should get around to removing all the non-backup duplicates of files I have on the computer. Such as the 2 extra copies of the photos of our New Zealand holiday in 2001 (or was it 2000? I cannot remember. Maybe it was 2002…). Or the 3 copies of my phone’s memory card. I’m sure that there’s not too many things of value on each copy that was different. I suppose after the HSC (probably around Christmas time, when I’m not partying, or on holidays, or watching movie marathons, or practising piano/flute/clarinet/guitar… can’t be practising piccolo any more by then because I’d have returned it to the school =[ Unless I buy my own) I can just go through the… (at this point I paused in my writing to find out how many files I have in my “Documents” Library) …54,093 files contained within 4,550 folders, taking up 39.9GB…
How on Earth are there 4,550 folders in my Documents library alone? Wait, I know how. Automatically created folders by programs such as iTunes and various games. Which probably end up holding a single 4KB file. Each. Anyways, I see I have a big task ahead of myself. Sorting through the hundreds of photos from my phones over the years is going to be a nightmare. Img0001.jpg, Img0002.jpg… Oh, wait, this phone labeled them Img001.jpg… and this phone labelled them 19102008.jpg, 19102008(001).jpg… I hope last modified puts them in a reasonably accurate order.
But enough about boring you with that. I’ll bore you with the thought that all those files did not include my music library. Thankfully though, that is an awful lot more organised (although I would like to eventually go through them and give the files a unified naming convention). And thank goodness for them being more organised, because there’s 7,178 files alone, measuring a massive 26.2GB. And I’m planning on adding more to that… Wait, I guess it’s kinda obvious to be planning to add more to a music library when new music is continually being released that may interest me.
My Pictures library, which I’m sure has some duplicates in it somewhere, has only 1,521 files (1.16GB) which makes me wonder just where on the computer I put the family photos. I suppose they’re still in the public folder… haven’t checked in a while.
Anyway, onto a different topic, I wish my friends and myself, along with every other student doing the HSC, the best of luck with their/our exams next week. I’m really not looking forward to the next 4 weeks. I am however looking forward to the weeks after those, so I suppose I can use the thought of “one last time” to get me through. Although that won’t help with spewing out 4 English essays and a short story, or remembering 2 years worth of Chemistry which I hate being tested on, but find an interesting subject. Or actually remembering what the stupid IEEE Floating Point standard is and how to work it out. Or remembering those maths formulae on the fly. ARGH!!! Uni is going to feel like this as well, isn’t it?
Anyhows,
TTFN!! Ta Ta For Now!
