What a 24 hour fiasco

For many of you, issues with your computer may be easy to resolve, I guess I'm just not so bright. I had an issue with iPhoto and lost 3,000+ photos (precious and irreplaceable) and could not for the life of me find where in my back ups that file was located.
Anyway, after 24+ hours I have located the file (I get worked up and then my brain fails to work - at all), I've copied over the photos and now for some reason, I have almost 9,000 photos instead of the 3000+. DAMN! So I bought an app to aid me with the task of finding the duplicates (otherwise it would take me days and I'd again get so worked up that I wouldn't eat or sleep. Are you seeing a pattern here?

Well anyway, I won't be back blogging until I get this issue fully remedied and get my heart to stop racing.
This all happened because the HD on my MacBook was almost filled (to within 7 GB) and I thought I'd do some deleting..........Damn, never again, gotta find another alternative. Thank Goodness that I back up nightly.

It's 4:33pm and Ahhhhhh, I'm finally at a place where I can breath

You know, when these things happen to me and That Guy, we also lose our concentration. I have to somehow go into this zen-like problem solving mode.

For a while I have been pondering how I should manage my photos. I'm a pretty organized person, and right now, things are a bit crazy on my Mac. I can back up to iMac, online but I think I ran into a space issue there. Flickr? Picasa? Who knows. But I know it's a problem that I'll need to solve pretty soon.

So, as you discover your own solutions, it would be great if you blog about them because I would be interested.

Hey thanks for coming by my blogs all the time. I really appreciate it!
