Skool Daze

Computer lesson #12-02-2005 titled “Don’t work late at night”.  Last night I spent several hours editing the captions for the pending “Skool Daze” photo album. Sitting back and admiring my work I notices a few photos that I had not included, so added them to the main collection. Somewhere at this point my foggy brain seemed to decide that if I then deleted the thumbnails and rebuilt them everything would be back in the correct cronologic order. I did the typical “select all” and then pressed the delete key. The program was nice and even asked if I was sure I wanted to do that, and well, heck yes I wanted to do that, or why would I have pressed the key? My brain received those electro-chemical pulses just a few micro seconds to late. OH… that didn’t delete the thumbnails, but the pictures that create the thumbnails. Rats… gone is gone. So having done this perhaps one other time (?) I had made a copy of the original picture folder which I was able to restore. Several hours after midnight I had the captions re-edited and ready to go. (This also gives me a good excuse for typo’s or other lack of judgement in the captions.) Now the critic/counsul needs to review the completed work to advise on any neccessary deletions. Then I will be ready to post. In this case necessary deletions may be photos of people having bad hair days (with the obvious exception of me), displays of inappropriate hand gestures.

(This alone caused a 30% reduction in the college era photos.)

People exhibiting un-intententional “plumbers crack” (although I have some great photos of the “Moon rising over West Lafayette” that I may still sneak in.. after all they are “Art” you know. – and John knows the photo I mean ;-) may also be supressed for the sake of the general public.
Stay tuned.
