Log
09:00 AM: I’m up. My weight is up from yesterday, from 174.0 Lbs. to 177.0 Lbs.
10:25 AM: Created audio journal episode AJE-2010-02-23-10-03.
12:00 PM: Finished transcribing audio journal episode: AJE-2010-02-23-10-03.
12:05 PM: Posted the Vacation Good So Far piece.
01:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless.
02:50 PM: We just got back from an Indian lunch. Delicious! Now, after all those carbs in the nine pieces of nan I consumed, it’s nap time.
05:30 PM: We’re back up again, now watching the local news on TV.
07:30 PM: Watched today’s episodes of NBC’s Nightly News and The CBS Evening News.
08:30 PM: Categorized more posts throughout today on the Tom’s Love Quest blog. Now, we have just 39 posts left to do.
10:00 PM: Tightened various screws on [Emmy]‘s furniture and appliances. Currently, trying to back up her computer using the XCOPY command. The first XCOPY halted prematurely, so I’m trying it again, this time, watching closely for any errors that quickly scroll off of the screen.
10:30 PM: Found that the XCOPY command was issuing an insufficient-memory error message. Googling the message revealed another who experienced the same problem. He says that it’s due to excessively long path names in the files being copied; especially when copying files that are very deep in some folder hierarchy. He recommended using the XXCOPY program instead. I tried this, as it accepts the same command-line options as the XCOPY command that comes with Windows XP. So far, it’s gotten way past the place where XCOPY failed, and it’s still going.
12:30 AM: The backup using the XXCOPY command is still running. But I’m too sleepy to wait up for it to finish. So I’m heading to bed, on the floor again, and I’ll check the results later on. Take care and good night.
