Standing outside late at night on a beautiful starry night. I walked outside because I needed to blog and since I do it verbally I believe it's unnerving for the family to hear me speaking to no one in particular. Well I guess I'm speaking to you

Good busy day today nothing special to report. the big news was that I migrated my hard disk today on my new computer to one of those fancy solid-state discs. That's not that newsworthy On its own but migrating a hard disk of any sort is kind of like doing a personal inventory. In the course of deciding what I had to move and what I could leave behind I had to go through hundreds know maybe even thousands of pictures personal letters records receipts have started code projects crash log files etc. etc. etc.

It's kind of like a personal archaeological dig… The bits and pieces of data are kind of shadow of what you might've been doing at any particular point in time. What's interesting is this particular disc has been migrated on let me think maybe five machines so it goes back at least about 10 years in those 10 years so much as happened. I wonder about future generations do you through all of our digital detritus and trying to make sense of our lives (as if they made sense now.)

Well I'm now comfortably on the other side of that migration and very happy with the speed of my new technology. I now have at least three copies of my last 10 years of my life and I'm projecting forward to some archaeologists or data archaeologist in the future that I hope you enjoy going through it at least as much as I did 🙂

Night all, night sam
