Delete them!


I've this bad habit of keeping things. Good things. Bad things. Beautiful things. Important things. Unimportant things. Things I think I will need next time. Things I eventually forget I've kept....

I have this bad habit of saving a copy of the same file in all the devices I own ~ in my PC, my laptop, my external hard disk, my pen drive... When I make changes to the file, I don't overwrite the original one. Just in case I need to refer to the old version which I rarely do. In the end I forget where I keep the most updated copy T_T

It's PC fair next weekend. I am thinking of buying another external hard disk to store the increasing files that I've. Looking at my bad habit of keeping multiple copies of the same files, I wonder how many more hard disks i will need! Hmm... Maybe I should not buy more HD since I've yet to develop a proper system to keep track of the files I already have. And more space will only make things more complicated...

Was chatting with my IT friend just now. I told him that I'm thinking of getting a 500GB external hard disk. He laughed at me HARD. For being so outdated! He has two 500GB external hard disks which he is thinking of throwing away coz they are now too old and too 'small' for his consumption. Oh good! He can certainly throw those 2 HDs to me. One person's trash can be someone else's treasure! How true is that!

HA! I wonder how he would react if i told him that I'm still using my 180GB external hard disk....

Time to delete those unwanted files............

than i'll be the very proud cave man, i only had one 1gb thumb drive and a lao ko ko internal hardisk about 10 years old,pretty sure it didn't even got 100gb. ha ha ha! champion! give me 40!

for my case, for the same file, i'll save like 10 latest version, than the newest one will replace the oldest one, like that FIFO, wont keep on expanding mah, than put the date in the file name.
