Okay, an "Eddie K #05" update: I started recording voices for
Scene 5 yesterday, but I ran into a bit of a snag. I have no more
room on my SD card, and I'm unwilling to delete my original files
until I'm done (and I'd like to keep them after that too, if I
can, simply for posterity's sake). But space seems to be at a
premium these days, and not just for this project either. I've
hit a wall on backups too, for the same reason. I'm at the point
where I have to delete stuff just to make room for regular
backups. This is not a good position to be in, but I had a bunch
of movies I'd ripped and held onto, always intending to watch
them, but hadn't gotten the chance. I'm not sentimental about
these sorts of things. With just a couple of exceptions, I don't
hold on to movies after I've seen them.
So I started to watch and delete these things last night. One of
them seemed to be corrupted (I'd copied it over from another drive
at some point in the past -- again, without ever actually watching
it), so that was an easy deletion. I watched another after that,
and was able to delete it too. Between them, that was about 11 or
12 GB's I reclaimed last night. It's not nearly enough, but it's
a start.
So, as I write these words, I'm resizing the partitions of my
backup drive so as to be able to fit everything. It's taking
forever. And I can't record anything for "Eddie K" until I have
this done. It's a little frustrating. Actually, it's a lot
frustrating, but I'm handling it well, due to my happy-go-lucky
personality.
If/when it's completed, I can back up this project, and have a
copy of the originals (and all the edits too, of course), and I
can clear the card. With a little luck, I'll be recording again
by tonight. That can seem like a a lot to hope for, though,
sometimes.
Nope. Not going there. Not today. Eye on the prize.
