Well my plan was to go buy a bigger second hard disk for Bagheera today. The Big Scan (as I’m now calling it) has nearly filled the slightly less then two-hundred gigabyte one I’d bought last year. I was going to see if I could find a Western Digital half terabyte one somewhere this afternoon. But after last night’s sleet and snow all the side streets in my neighborhood are a solid sheet of ice right now. So…not…<\/p>\n
What I really need to do is make myself a RAID-1 file server I can just shovel hard disks into as needed. But I’m waiting for the new high speed wireless protocol to be standardized (I’ll be slugging a lot of very, very large image files over the network). Apple has a nice looking new high speed AirPort base station out now, but they’ve jumped the gun on the new standard…it hasn’t been finalized yet…and I’m a tad skittish about buying into it until it is.\n<\/p>\n
In the meantime I’m going to have to stop scanning now, until I can put more storage capacity online. I’m counting on the price of hard disk capacity going down, as The Big Scan progresses. Because I’ve already eaten over a-hundred gigabytes (the other hundred is taken up by my cartoon and iTunes files) and I’ve still got tons of it to go through. So far I’m in luck…looks like a half a terabyte drive should cost me about the same as what I spent on the two-hundred gig drive last year. That’s do-able. But I’ve only just started this thing.\n<\/p>\n
In other news…I can sit down at my drafting table now and produce pencils. I may even have some things to post by tomorrow night…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
