Progress Update VIII
Last week, I listed four things I wanted to get done for the week.
The first was to finish a client’s website. I did that last Wednesday, which was pretty quick, at least with regard to my task list.
Next was to clear off my computer’s desktop. Haven’t done that yet. Made it worse, in fact.
Third was to remove an old computer from my desk. Did not complete that, but did make some headway. I organized (to some degree) the files on the computer, so that I can archive them to CD and delete them from the hard drives. The time-consuming bit is that I actually used this computer as a network backup drive, as well as extra storage space. Most of that is on a hard drive that is easily removed, and my initial thought was to simply move that to my other computer. Well, seeing that all the slots in the other computer are filled, I cannot do that. I could put it in an external drive case, but the drive may be soldered onto the expansion card that it’s on, but maybe not. In either case, before I mess around with it, I’d like to at least back it up. So, that item is still in progress.
On the other hand, I did clean off a bunch of the stuff that was stacked on top of the computer (a tower case), so at least there is that done. Mostly.
Fourth was to organize the miscellaneous notes that were all over aforementioned computer’s keyboard. That is mostly done, just need to stick them in some envelopes for organization, which I’ll get at the office today. Some of the stuff I am still trying to think of a better way to organize, but at least they are out of the way for now.
So, here are my goals for this week:
- Finish archiving files and move the old computer off my desk.
- Take product photo for my eCommerce site and put it on the site. I have had the “models” sitting on my file cabinet for a long, long time. It’s time to take their picture and put it on the site!
- Setup printer/scanner. Shouldn’t be too hard. Once the old computer is off the desk, I can put the printer/scanner in its place and plug it in.
- Do some work on the redesign for my flagship website. Started on it a bit a couple weeks ago, but I need to work on it further. It will share some of the templates of my eCommerce site, so it’s like working on two things at once. I know the eCommerce site is going to take me longer to complete, so at least I can have the flagship site running full speed again, and get some ad revenue coming in from it. It’s not been updated in almost three years, so the ad revenue has taken a deep downturn, as well as traffic.
- Start getting things together for my antiques blog.
Speaking of my antiques’ blog, y’all left me to my own devices here. I asked you for suggestions for a name, but y’all left me hanging. So, retroyears it is then!
