What plans for the weekend?

Starting a new song. Mixing an in process song. Managing my in-laws computer. Having a friendly game of Mexican Train Dominoes on Saturday night. Sleep. No beer for Bapu.

That looks to be a busy weekend....
 
I'll just spend time with the wittle ones and later do some tracking. Beer or another social beverage might very well join me in the celebration.  
 

Cel A Brate Good Times. COME ON!!!

As with all good things, this must come to an end.
 
Have a great weekend Baps and also to this great Frederation.

Actually, this fred needs to be changed often just like a baby diaper and for similar reasons.

Ken's waiting until there's a Nobel Beer Prize.  Then he'll consider going for it.

I needed a weekend TOTP.
 
Now I feel better. 

I had a hard drive failing (my old 500 GB OS drive) which was causing Windows 10 grief (lots of errors and BSOD's) so I bought a new 4 TB.  Now I'm going through almost all of my hard drives (20 of them) and trying to figure out the best way to organize all of my data.  I've got 13 TB of data and, now, I have 20 TB of space.  The problem is that a lot of the hard drives are small (250 GB) and there's a good amount of duplication.  I think I have my goals down in a spreadsheet, now it's just hours and hours of going through folders, running file sync and duplicate file software then all that moving around of data...  Yeesh...
 
I'm sooooo happy that large hard drives are cheap now.  I didn't get one (because the store was sold out), but I saw a 6 TB Toshiba internal hard drive on sale for only $199 (I got a WD 4 TB for $139 instead).  I still remember buying a 10 MB (yes, Megabyte!) hard drive for $520!  Ah, progress... 

we were discussing prices the other day at work and SSD 900 gig drives are cheap now, the price will continue to fall
glad you got hooked up Craig, yea boy do I remember a 20 Mb Radio Shack HD that was 400 buxs or so back in the day
 

My 4TB Samples drive (3.63TB actual) only has 1.29TB free.
 
My 1TB Projects drive (921GB actual) only has 324GB free. That drive is backed up with Crash Plan (cloud) and an external USB drive.
 
My 500GB C: drive (465GB actual) only has 130GB free. That drive is Acronis backed up to the external USB drive.

I have lots of HD space to spare....
I'm not very productive these days

That shall be remedied soon my friend. Soon.

I'm hoping to get all the data off of the old, small hard drives so I can donate them to Free Geek (along with two external hard drive bays (a one-slot and a four-slot).  That will make things simpler around here and get rid of all the ATA drives which require the bays to use them.
 
I've got an old laptop connected directly to the Comcast router.  I'll attached external drives to that so it can upload to my Amazon Cloud Drive at the best speed possible 24/7.  Eventually, I should finally have my data archived off-site (i.e., in the Cloud) with local backups available too.  I think I only have about 2.4 TB of data (OS's, software, docs, pictures, videos, etc.) that isn't music related.  The vast majority of the space is taken up by my music that's not at 192 kbps (i.e., what I created the 192 kbps versions from).  Usually .FLAC since that took up less room than .WAV.  I'm glad it's my music collection that's large and not a movie collection!
 
 

The migraine is back
See you another day...

F'NBummer.

I used to get nasty migraines.  They definitely DO NOT respond to the usual headache remedies of rest & relaxation.  In fact, if I feel one coming on and lay down, when I wake up (usually not much later) it is FAR worse.  So, step one for me was to immediately take a couple Excedrin Migraine tablets as soon as I thought I might be getting a migraine.  At this point the medication is effective, if I wait too long, all medications, acupressure, tapping and relaxation techniques are pretty much worthless and I just have to sit up somewhere in agony for hours (lying down makes it worse).  
 
Then I found out that many migraines are actually food allergy related.  One that just kills me is some kind of spice.  It might be Thyme, but I'm scared to test for it!  The other for me is more of an excess issue with dairy products (especially cheddar cheese).  I love lots of dairy products but, sometimes, just have too much and that's when I get the migraine.  Switching to lactose-free milk and cutting way back on cheddar cheese has made a TON of difference.  I've read that there's something about cheddar cheese that is different than other types of cheese and many people get a reaction from varying amounts of it.  The lactose-free milk has other benefits for us bachelors too.  It lasts MUCH longer than normal milk (like two months compared to a few days - and it doesn't get lumpy or smell either)!

I hate to suggest it Ken, but it's possible that some ingredient in the beer you're drinking might be causing your migraines.  Maybe try a different brand for a while?  (Notice that quitting is not an option!)
 

I have migraine at the same time year after year. Almost every year in September / October and February / March. It lasts from a few days, to several weeks / months. Mine are almost certainly from my neck injuries an bad shoulders.
As to beer, I should have migraines in the summer and not the winter half of the years. I never drink when having migraine, so last night was a mistake on my part. Luckily I have medicine that works now. It is like a insulin pen, but with migraine medicine. It works every time in under 5 mins, and then I usually fall asleep for a while.
But thanks for your thoughts

Migrainers of the world unite!!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
Tomorrow when we feel better. 

Who's "Bob?"

Who's "Bob?" 

Sowwy!!! I wrote while having migraine...

Typical

Copying files from disk to disk to disk to disk...
 
Can a weekend get any more exciting??? 

And the weekend is over, but the migraine is not...
I'm off to a dark room again

Sorry to hear that Ken......that sucks not knowing when it will go away (days/weeks/months....). Stay in the dark, don't go to the park, or try to bark (at Mike).
 
 
Everyone, shhhhhhhhhh and BE QUIET!!

That thyme of the month eh?
 
Is this where every juan takes midol?
 

The attacks are getting shorter, so I hope that's a sign that they're on their retreat..

Has that been the pattern in the past?
 
I've always thought these migraines were quick attacks that didn't last long(er) than a few days.....but, for months?? Wow, that's got to be tough.
 
At least, it's good to hear you get some instant relief from the pain meds......and then comfortably numb?
