I think winter finally landed, although temps seem pretty mild. And don't worry, we'll have way less snowfall this year for the simple reason that I finally broke down and bought a snowblower. Which means it'll not be needed for a few years

Sheesh!! This day keeps delivering. We lost power. Came back on, finally got signed back in to everything at work and power went out again. Hope it stays on now.

On hold with my credit union. Trying to figure out why a check I deposited from my mom's account on December 20 hasn't been released yet.

I remember in Jr High I got a temp job with 0 computer experience... and my task was to feed 3.5" floppy disks to the computer and number them as they filled up for a system backup... I don't know if I did it right but I remember it took several hundred floppy disks.

We're getting ready for our next quarterly software release testing, so I had to delete a bunch of old files (about 10K) and empty some existing files. It is mind numbingly tedious and takes the better part of a day to do it all.

I'd just like to know why my Android phone has 30gb of data on it with only 2-3 pictures and 10 apps <200mb each installed.

I used to enjoy writing html by hand. Tens of thousands of lines.

I don't know if phones accumulate "crap" files like computers do (browser cache, etc.) or not. Have you tried turning it off and back on again? Or is there something in the settings that let you see how much data you're using and what's using it?

My experience is with mainframes. Specifically COBOL and JCL. But now I'm a tester. No more coding for me, but it helps when testing and trouble shooting stuff.

Yes, I've done all the obvious - moving all media files to SD card and removing all unused apps, rebooting, etc. It only seems to fill back up over a couple days and I don't even use it that much.
