Technological comfort.

If it all goes well, I've now achieved redundancy with my computer files. Everything I want to keep safe is now backed up on an external hard drive that will largely live alone on my desk unconnected to my main computer. Because of this particular arrangement, I've named this hard drive The Hinterlands. Let's hope everything stays as pristine as the name implies.

I'll see if I can turn it into a monthly routine - pay the credit card bill, back up the last month's worth of important data.

I also managed to solve another irksome issue, deleting a couple of troublesome files that defied the usual methods, by following some simple directions that still made me feel like I'd just solved an eight-part math equation.

Also, I held a giant fancy pigeon today, and had birds land on my head. So on and offline, it's been a good day all around.
