phone management

well, the button said import and so i click on it and now, 3747 photos are being imported... though i do not know where they are being imported to... if they are being imported into the folder i have open, i will need to do some sorting and rearranging... it is also taking a very long time so there must be a faster way, like pulling the SD card from the camera and putting it into an SD slot on the computer, but then, i though i was importing just the one photo in the phone folder i had open... so we are up to photo 500 of the 3747 and we wait to see how much work i have made for myself... it would be good to know how much space was needed before starting and where the import is going and some control over the import would be helpful too... i am not sure if this is windows or android deficiencies, but there are annoying deficiencies... I tagged the import thinking it would be just one photo and now all 3747 photos are tagged the same, again, wasting time, poor organization, windows and android fail... and we are at 1500 of the 3747 photos importing...

a little while later, we are at 3300 of the 3747 photos.. i found where they are importing to and they all go in one folder with each named tag001, tag002, tag003, etcs with the tag being the useless tag i chose for the one photo that the tag was appropriate for...

hours later, i figured out some of what was going on... a lot of the photos were duplicates because every photo i ever too had a thumbnail made of it and when i delete photos from the phone, the thumbnails are not deleted and when i clicked on import it simply numbered every photo and imported them and that made for duplicates of every photo and it really is a poor system of file management that google provies android... so anyway, hours later i deleted most of the photos and thumbnails from the phone and will sort the ones i downloaded to my computer when i have some time...

too much time managing the android phone files though... is it unique to htc?... are the other android operating systems any better?... is the iphone any better?...

la la la...

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
