not quite horse puckey

February 21, 2002 Stephanie Leary

OK, so it’s not quite horse puckey.

I’m still missing some files (I’m sure they’re on my laptop) and I know the problem is due to the fact that at one point I was working on four different computers, with three remote accounts for backups. How do you guys keep it all straight? My best method so far has been to make sure all the files end up (somehow) on my desktop machine at home, where I can use Dreamweaver’s site synchronization feature to upload or download only the files that have changed. This is a very happy thing, but it still leaves files scattered all over creation.

I read Jon Katz’s Geeks in one night, and now I’m not sure why I bothered… it was amusing, but didn’t really tell me anything I didn’t already know. I started reading Jane Smiley’s Moo during lunch yesterday, and it looks to be hilarious if I can keep the cast of thousands straight between sittings.

Off to ConDFW tomorrow. I’ll take the printout with me and try to be productive.

(Ha ha ha.)
