E:Strip Dinner

Thank you all for coming!! 17 People I believe.

Sorry about the group shots, the red ceiling sort of screwed up my attempts with the flash :( I should have double checked the camera before I stopped taking photos.

Tried to doctor up the group shots a bit:

And (e:james) was being himself:

Vacation

I took my first day off in forever on Monday. I think it might have been the first day in 6 months that I didn't do any work. It was really nice, so thank you James, Paul, Matt, and Terry!

Marcella's Underwear Contest

The contestants:

Who I voted for:

These two won, a tie, and they went and danced on a pole together afterwards.

I tried to wipe the lens of the camera phone off, but it must have still been a little dirty.

Politics

Well I normally hate talking about politics on estrip, but this one is too funny:

An elephant with a 'wide stance' in Minneapolis. Nice. (This is the actual GOP logo for their convention)

Backup Hard Drives

OK, so this is getting ridiculous.

I have one external backup drive for my laptop, one for (e:james)' desktop, and now two more on the way to attach to the network for photo storage (100+gb so far). No more room on my laptop for them all.

I'm going to need to buy a house soon just to install a datacenter in the basement, and I don't think we'll need to worry about the house being cold this winter with all these electronics going. We have like four 8-outlet power strips in room with our computers.

Or maybe just get one of these...

metalpeter writes at 06:45:06 10/04/07 - Comment #25770: I take pictures on my digital camera and store them on CD but I really do need to back them up other then on the computer. But I print all of mine out that is what photo albums are for. The thing is they are esaier to view in albums then on a computer. I really need to figure out how to get the ones on floppy's on a disc and then copy that disc.

jim writes at 10:41:16 10/03/07 - Comment #25719: Yikes!

Jenks that is no good :)

I can't believe that anyone uses those disks anymore. I've had to try a few times in the last year, and the disks or drives are invariably dead.

jenks writes at 10:35:48 10/03/07 - Comment #25718: ok, this will make you guys cringe.
At work we keep a list of all the patients we are taking care of. It's a dinky little excel file. But it is full of all sorts of private info, so it's "protected information" blah blah.

But there is no place we can store this file, that everyone has access to it. And they have just banned flash drives.

So we have been storing it on a FLOPPY DISK. The SAME floppy disk. For TWO YEARS now. With NO backup copy. And I am the only one that seems remotely concerned by this.

I didn't know computers even HAVE A: drives anymore!

dcoffee writes at 08:06:41 10/03/07 - Comment #25710: Yea, I know the feeling. I have my photos on DVD and hard drives. But I don't trust computers at all. We should print more of our favorite photos. I know us digital photographers don't print much, we post things online, email stuff to friends, group it into folders, but printing at a photo lab? I went about 3 years without adding a single photo to a photo album, but it's so rewarding when you do. I admit it takes a bit of time, and I haven't printed anything for myself in at least 6 months. But I feel like prints, are a real backup.

jim writes at 07:50:59 10/03/07 - Comment #25707: I've got remote offline storage covered, but this is all about making sure I've got two copies of everything locally too.

I'm super paranoid about backups, don't worry about me :)

metalpeter writes at 07:46:50 10/03/07 - Comment #25703: Seriously I noticed you didn't mention CDs or DVDs. I will admit that one little scratch can mess them up but that would give you another way of storing pictures and video and with the pictures then if you have a DVD player that would be another way to view them. Backing things up is really important and a lot of people forget to do and then when they lose stuff it is gone and they can't get it back.

jenks writes at 06:17:24 10/03/07 - Comment #25689: well shit, at only 24K, I'll take two!
