Snowfield during the night
and it was cold outside but I ventured out even though the sun was
shining bright cold wind came from the North and forced me back
inside I felt like the groundhog Who had just seen his shadow. I was
ready to hibernate for another six weeks. However, that will not be
necessary warmer winds are coming behind this cold front and I will
be glad. Still the day Me inside and playing with my new computer for
the most part. I wish I could confess of doing something extremely
productive but alas updating my blog will be about it for today.
I have been trying not to
get mopey but Dropbox has prevented me from avoiding the mopes. I got
a message today among those rare moments when the Wi-Fi allowed
anything through, telling me that I have but six more days to comply
with a new subscription or a subscription to Dropbox. Dropbox was
that sensational couple years ago that swept through offering you
free storage of your files I guess in the cloud or somewhere but not
on my system. I dumped a lot of data on to the software but kept all
my systems pretty much as well. I pretty much use Dropbox as a
briefcase particularly when I was still working. I would load letters
and projects and to Dropbox and then fish them out when I got home on
weekends, in the evenings and such. It was pretty handy. Now I'm sure
I have a cloud account somewhere that I have the same materials in
storage somewhere in the sky but I don't know where it is at at this
instance – – I guess I should. There's one thing I've noticed as
I mess with the new system is that a lot of my files do not come
over. As well as my software. I lost, or I guess I've lost accounts
that are either subscribe to or paid for that lost when I gave up my
laptop. This is happened so many times with new computers that I have
purchased that I've gotten used to losing data. I would like to think
and I just might have some drives with materials backed up but I
don't know whether at right now. For a few hours this afternoon I
climbed back into Dropbox I think I had 2017 image files. I have
files going back to 2013 which really isn't that far. Still there are
enough images to make me miss the times we had together Dianne me and
the family and doing some of the things that we did. I only got
slightly mopey.
Dropbox says I have six
days to comply. I looked it up just for the fun of it to see what I
would have to do and forgotten. In order to keep my subscription to
Dropbox and have to fork out $99. 99 bucks! They essentially have my
data hostage is there a term for this that term escapes me right now
but it's out there that means that taking advantage of me in my data.
Well I'll show them I don't care I got most of the backed up anyway
on my hard drive. Just creeps, that's all they are. I'm glad I didn't
rely too heavily on the software it be just another thing to come
around in my life to poke me in the eye.
