Rudai 23: Where I am at
My original plan for catch up was thwarted by several
technological problems and a few college and work deadlines. This the first
computer screen time since my exams and college assignments finished.
To sum it up my phone bricked itself, with a motherboard
malfunction. I was told the data was irretrievable after bringing it to a phone
repair shop. This hurts more because I had just downloaded the Blogger app to
transfer the posts to Blogger because I was having phone backup problems.
We were having connectivity problems when we moved into the
new apartment which were a combination of router, wireless card and computer
performance issues, we went through three routers before the router issue was
resolved. The wireless card issue was resolved by testing setting changes. I
haven’t had enough computer time to know if the performance issues have all
been completely resolved but the laptop is now usable.
As the saying goes disasters happen in three’s. I lost one
of my college assignments to the final technical glitch which was a MS Word
save error. Which made my college deadlines very tight. One evening when I
opened the document, it was blank. In the folder with the file appeared what
looked like a MS Access file with a weird name but you could not open it. I can
only assume that the file was corrupted and because I was not using my own
computer to work on the file I did not have my usual backups. One of my colleges
in work said that a similar thing happened for her thesis.
On the work front, I just finished my Jobbridge in Teagasc and
started a new Job in Kildare County Council.
Lesson learnt; the golden rule is to save the unpublished posts to the
cloud.
New Plan
This weekend I hope to retype all lost posts. I still have
notes for some of them because I used hand written notes and paragraphs for
some but others I typed the notes and posts straight to my S memo and
unfortunately all that data was lost.
o
Finish last bits of tasks for partially
completed Things.
o
At least one post a day.
o
Try for two posts on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday.
Post Schedule
Looks like a great plan!
