Confessions of a flashtard

Something to share, for a couple years, whenever I wanted to share files between my laptop, work, and office, I would gmail them to myself, so I could go into my gmail and get them.

Epiphinay #1: I was building a website for a landscaping company. This is back in December. Ok, we all understand, I am designing the site, formating the webpages, setting up the account on the server, logging in via command prompt to adjust the domain settings, and uploading with FTP, all the normal stuff. He has some pics he needs on the site, and he brings in this old PC with the pics on it. Has 8MB of pics, no network card or CD burner. How the heck am I going to get the pics to my PC? It won't connect to the web,so I cannot gmail them... it cannot burn a CD... 12 floppies?? Then, finally, I remember the 1GB flash drive I bought myself (a year ago!). Duh!! Well, the PC does have a USB 1 port, so I am in business.

Epiphinay #2: I am working on the Subsim Werewolf Hunt while at the college between classes. Again, I have been gmailing the spreadsheet and Word doc back and forth, as well as doing the same for my college papers. Doing this for 4 weeks (hell, I did it all last semester too

)... getting a little frustrated when I got versions mixed up...again I remember the flash drive!

Dang, what a tard!

You can probably guess that I have been really focused on using the flash drive a lot the last week...I think I'm finally getting it.
