new harddrive.

antoj: (good for you)
i tend to get overly paranoid with my things. especially if its an electronic device with a lot of important data on it. I've gone through so many harddrives because I've declared them dying (maybe before they actually were) and i also have a bin with like 20 old hdd in it. no jokes my last drive actually WAS dying.

that is making clicky death noises randomly (but not quite dead...yet) and also taking forever and 90 years to open a file folder. (srsly my internet was faster than opening my documents)

SO I GOT A NEW DRIVE. now i have 935gb of space. the only bad thing is having to reinstall EVERY SINGLE THING. it feels like i should at least have more new components in my computer after that, BUT NOPE ITS THE SAME OLD SLOW CRAP that won't even play alan wake :'c :'c :'c

i named my "NEW SYSTEM" stahlarms though because i am clearly not all creeping on stahl/killzone 3 atm. nope not at all.

i need to name the harddrive now too. it needs to be cool. but i will probably just call it Flea-Tortilla something. don't ask OH TOO LATE

AND NOW I GET TO SPEND ALL OF FOREVER INSTALLING PROGRAMS :'C

actually i had a lot more programs in my start menu in my old setup. but i dont even remember what i had installed. i feel like it should be important because i use the start menu instead of desktop shortcuts desktop icons are ugly AND I JUST I DONT KNOW. im sure i'll remember. eventually.

this post is pointless but i'm waiting for junk to transfer/install and i feel like i can't do much of anything else!!!!!!!!!!!

Better to be proactive! I am still crying about the absolute and unexpected death of my pc hard drive ;__; I am now a firm believer in Google Drive.

What kind of data can google drive store? I've never really looked into it before. lol.

I'm constantly paranoid for my data... I usually do back ups every 6 months or so so I'd at least have /something/ even though I could lose a bit... BUT YEAH.

XD Google drive is just a cloud service, you get 5 gb free (for any use) ~ but what I LOVE is the documents service *.* for fanfiction backup. That's why I'm crying over the most, is my lost writing. On top of the fact that it puts my writing off my volatile hard drives *.* it saves everything I write instantly - so amazing - I can even see when someone I'm sharing the doc is typing real time, it's so amazing...

I am still making back ups but writing is a continuous process, so it's pretty great.

Ohhhh. Yeah a lot of the stuff I try to keep back ups of that's pictures and video... that probably wouldn't work?

I do use google drive for fics I write though. It IS really handy, though I can't type directly into it because it's too bright for me. I forgot they changed the name of it... lol I'm still used to calling it google docs.

XDDD Yeah I keep calling it google docs but I'm forcing my brain to make the switch, so I don't get confused when the menu comes up ~ Hmmm I do type directly into it, but sometimes I type on notepad and copy paste. So wonderful ♥
