My son and his little family are coming over today. Today is when I celebrate. I let the kids open their presents from Grandma, Uncle and Great-Uncle and Aunt. And then tomorrow I will become a vegetable (a cauliflower, I think) and do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING all day long. Ahhhhhh.
Light snow pretty much all day. So we'll have a white Christmas, if that matters. But don't expect any Christmas news: Thomassons don't really do holidays. Although I got a nice package from one of my cousins. It included an extended set of reminiscences my grandmother had written about her childhood in Tennessee. My cousin also sent some geneological information about our grandmother's mother's family.
I have gotten my library rebuilt. Stuffit still won't handle the folder that has my books in Mobipocket format. I don't know if that's due to folder size or, as I now suspect, because Stuffit doesn't know what to do with some of the proprietary file types. Stuffit wouldn't compress the folder in which I originally had most of my e-books even after I'd removed all but a few hundred files -- until I removed one file of unknown type. But in any case, everything but the Mobipocket e-books will now be automatically backed up up on a daily basis. I'll have to manually copy my Mobipocket foler to the external hard drive every time I add new books, but should be able to remember that. I'd already gotten my important work files set for automatic backup and expect to get everything else that might matter set up by tonight or tomorrow.
Wow, Bill, sounds like you're really going to town. You inspire me. I need to backup all my Audible downloads as well as all my creative type files i.e. Word and Cakewalk. That's a project for next week.
Tried to upload two Andy Williams songs from one of his Christmas albums to YouTube, but they blocked both. Poo! And, I need to download a couple of books from my Audible library to my Stream. Better do that now before I forget.
Howard Dean is first every day.

Cauliflowers are good. Cauliflowers are our friend. Have a peaceful day, Susan.
ReplyDeleteBright, sunny, and at least over freezing. Good thing. Plenty to do today. Tomorrow, traveling down to DC for Christmas with my eldest and his family.
For Ally for Christmas. . . .
