the_rckWell, good news and bad news-- The good news is that my bone density scan results are in and my bone density is nicely within normal range. Breaking my foot was not due to brittle bones.
The bad news is that my laptop is almost out of storage memory. It gave me a warning message today, and when I checked, I discovered that my available memory was measured in megabytes.
Since then, I've been trying to find things to delete. I got rid of some games that I've finished and am very unlikely to want to replay, and I went through the rest of my applications folder looking for stuff to get rid of. Apparently the chess program I've never used and will never use is an integral part of the OS and can't be deleted. I got rid of about a hundred jpegs and gifs, but those are trivial in terms of memory.
I can think of two areas where I can probably get rid of some things. The first is that I have a twenty six episode anime stored on my hard drive. I do want to keep it, but I should probably burn it to disk. The second, unfortunately, is my music. There are a few things I own on CD that I'm not very interested in listening to. I can probably delete those. There are some things I've marked that I never ever want to listen to them but have kept because I only own them digitally. Then there are four audiobooks that I haven't listened to but want to but am probably never going to set aside time for.
I'm pretty sure my laptop is currently at capacity in terms of the memory I can put into it. It's at least four years old and quite probably older than that. I'll have to talk to Scott when he's home and feeling better. (I take it as a very bad sign that he should have been out of work 45 minutes ago but I haven't heard from him yet.)
