There are two really important folders in my PC which I just could not do without at the moment: my School Work folder and the folder which contains all my design and work (which luckily enough is online anyway). So I think partitioning it may be a good idea (Thanks mate), I've got a friend whose pretty nifty with that might be an idea. Oh, and I do that too: I collect ideas in a draft post in the Wordpress dashboard until I'm ready to write. In fact thats what worked well for the post before this. My ICT Project is to develop, and also document the development of, a Franchisee Management System for a computer software franchise that just started in the UK called 'Concerto Networks'. It's a pretty hefty challenge, and the documentation is time consuming, since 'showing the development of the system' actually means taking screen shots as it is being made and describing each step along the way. Not fun. So far I'm on 250 pages, and I've got a fair bit more to do. You know what? I think I might make a post about my ICT at some point today. There, now there's some inspiration: Cheers Ryan!

My ICT Project is to develop, and also document the development of, a Franchisee Management System for a computer software franchise that just started in the UK called ‘Concerto Networks’. It’s a pretty hefty challenge, and the documentation is time consuming, since ’showing the development of the system’ actually means taking screen shots as it is being made and describing each step along the way. Not fun. So far I’m on 250 pages, and I’ve got a fair bit more to do.

You know what? I think I might make a post about my ICT at some point today. There, now there’s some inspiration: Cheers Ryan!

I need IE6 to make sure my sites work, but other than that, it's Firefox 100%. You should look into partitioning your hard drive. On my PC, I have C:, E:, and F: -- they're all the same (physical) drive, but partitioned. I keep all of my media (music, videos, images, etc) on E:, and all other stuff (college stuff, sites, etc) on F: -- then if I ever have issues and need to format, all I have to do is format C: and I never have to backup my stuff. I just have to re-install the programs (if they were installed to program files). It's really easy to partition, too. Anyway, I don't even know what happened to your computer. Just a suggestion. Oh, and backups are definitely a good things :) Posting gets tough when you're busy. It's often hard to come up with stuff to write about. I've found it easier to not even think about it, and as things come to my mind, make note of them in a writeboard or some web-based document to store ideas until I find the time to write a post about it.
