I heard he could really hit the target with his arrows. He’d often get a standing overture. *ahem* My darts were flying pretty fine last night too. At least nobody could beat me.
She’s a sweet young thing…twenty-four I think. I asked once before if she’d like to be my girlfriend and she responded “I think of you like a daddy”. Ouch! She’s into K-dramas and I’ll toss some of my limited Korean vocabulary into our conversations. Last night I said “pajee bosoyo” and she answered “anio”. Anyway, it’s all in good fun.
After darts, I was feeling a little hungry so I hoofed it over to Sit-n-Bull. Decided to go light and just had a sandwich with no sides:
Then I climbed the steps to BarCelona for some after-dinner brews. My favorite waitress there, Samantha, had sent me a rather cryptic message earlier in the day and I wanted to check on her. I didn’t see her though, so I messaged her and she responded she hadn’t been working for several days. Well, thanks for letting me know! One beer and out. I briefly considered trying another venue but decided I’d had enough for one night and headed home.
And here we have another Saturday to fill. After my morning rituals, I took one of my standard Barretto street walks. Nothing really interesting to report, but you can Relive it here and decide for yourself:
Back from the walk and just hanging out.
Via Facebook memories, I was reminded of a special moment during my visit to Istanbul in 2004.
Speaking of memories, Google sent me an email saying I was once again in danger of exceeding the allotted storage capacity. The solution they wanted was for me to buy more space. I was thinking deleting shit I will never look at again was a better option. So, that’s what I proceeded to do. And once again I discovered a treasure trove of photographs from a visit to Angeles City back in 2008. A lot of them are in the NSFW category so I won’t be posting those here. Here are a few that are rated PG:
It looks like I had a good time though. I sure wish I could remember more about it. I guess I owe Google a big thank you for bringing these photos to my attention again. Shortly after I met Jee Yeun she deleted everything Philippines-related she could find. And yet, here I am making new memories.
And I’ll finish today’s post with this punny little item:
I’ll be back with an update on this adventure I call life in the Philippines tomorrow.
Congrats on the darts victory.
French dip looks good. So do a lot of the girls in those photos. No naked pics = you’re gettin’ soft on us.
I pay Google $2.99 a month for 200 GB of storage, about half of which is being used. If I got myself a 10-terabyte external drive and could figure out how to turn it into a server, I might take everything off Google and stop paying that monthly fee, but for the moment, $3 a month isn’t too painful. It’s a slow trickle, a minor cut with very little bleeding. Only problem is that, if I change the location of the photos that appear, say, on my blog, I have to re-upload years’ worth of photos, so I’m kind of in a bind. This is how Google sucks you in, I guess: by nickeling and diming.
Memory prices (for computer memory LOL) keeps going down. I have an 8 TB hard drive that I use and store all of my stuff on. I back that up to another 8 TB hard drive. I dont have a blog or anything, so dont know if that would work if I did run a blog.
Yeah, I know that if there was a fire, flood, etc. all would be gone, so I guess that is one advantage of keeping things in the “cloud”. However, being somewhat paranoid, I dont think of it as the “cloud”, rather than “storing it on someone else’s hard drive”.
I am thinking of getting a 3rd hard drive, backing up everything periodically (maybe quarterly), and storing off site somewhere (safe deposit box?) to take the natural disaster out of the equation.
John, didn’t you buy your domain name because you didn’t want to worry about your blog actually being “owned” by someone else?
What happens in the PI stays in the PI? LOL
Kev: “No naked pics = you’re gettin’ soft on us.” I didn’t want you guys getting hard on me! Yeah, paying money to Google directly just rubs me the wrong way somehow, even though it really doesn’t amount to much more than pocket change. I may have to break down and buy more space soon since I *think* my photos are automatically being uploaded now. Yesterday’s discovery was attachments to old emails. Those photos had been deleted years ago by wife #4.
Brian, I think we are talking apples and oranges here. Google said my email storage space was full so I deleted some of the old emails with attachments. That led to the rediscovery of those photos from 2008. Now, part of the problem is that the photos I do automatically upload to the cloud are taking up space as well, so I’m eventually going to have to pay.
I have an external hard drive laying around somewhere. I guess I should find it and see what’s there. I’m a techno-peasant though and really don’t want to be bothered with manually backing everything up.
I bought the domain when I started blogging in 2004. I didn’t like the Blogspot format, I wasn’t worried about privacy. Everything goes on the server of my blog host Go Daddy anyway. Originally, LTG was at johnmccrarey.com but then I somehow missed paying to renew that domain, and some jerk in Poland bought it out from under me and used it as a spam site. Rather than deal with him trying to buy it back I just switched to mccrarey.com. And here we are today.
“What happens in the PI stays in the PI?” Thank goodness that’s not true! What would I blog about? 🙂
