defrag

being the ridiculously neglectful fool i can be sometimes, i am defragmenting the laptop... apparently i have not defragged in a long time... fool, aye?... it is gonna tak a long time... after defragging, i may consider moving files to an external drive to see if that helps the old machine... eventually i want to wipe the drive and reimage it with windows 10, so backing everything up on an external makes sense... auslogic disk defrag is working hard to clean up the drive as most of it was fragmented... so close to 350,000 files were analyzed and just over 5,000 are fragmented... the program says 1% were fragmented, but it looks like a whole lot more... two of the files were in more than 250 fragments each... fragging frags, aye?... auslogics is also telling me there are 241 registry errors and 342 junk files on the laptop... so i used auslogics registry cleaner and that cleaned the registry and told me i have other things as they tried to sell me boostspeed which cleaned up some more stuff but then wanted $60 to do more and that's when i stopped... i returned to defrag and am now doing a defrag with optimization which will likely take a few hours...

something to do while sitting with happiness...

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 :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
