I decided to re-archive my digital photos. I came upon this conclusion for a few reasons: <\/p>\n
1) I read that burning cds at a slower speed retains their integrity better.
\n2) I wanted a second copy to store in a safe place other than home in case of a fire.
\n3) I wanted to reduce the overall size of my archive.<\/p>\n
That third one really kept me busy over the past few days. It amazes me how much crap, and I do mean CRAP, I kept. I’m not sure why I’d ever find it necessary to go back and look at photos that were out of focus or just plain ugly. I guess you can file that under “what was I thinking?” Today alone I deleted 600 photos. I still kept some stuff that while not technically appealing, provided some sweet memories, but the rest of the junk was deleted forever. Even after that, I have 11 gigs of photos dating back to October 2001. Yikes! I’m bad at math … how many 750 mb discs will that take up? *Grin*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
