Two days, two days, to check ssd/hdd model numbers against non commercial websites. SMS is a deal breaker but instead of being able to look at a model number and say “aha, this series uses SMS and the other CMS” no, now they’re interspersed. Oh no. Did I create a basic or dynamic disk… nope phew. I just want to create content, you know? But I have a 4T 3.5″ harddrive to get everything off the drives I’m concerned with. But I think the drive that “failed” didn’t. I’ve checked it with every tool there is, and yes. Virtual memory was way too low. And I was right in interpreting a paging error as an error to do with… you know… paging. It matters as well that my physical memory was burdened and that I’ve had to watch processes for a few years now because of how slow folders have been to load.

But what was supposed to be a five minute fly by post had to be delayed because of course suddenly my theme broke and my blog disappeared. So ick, stunt blog page in the meantime.

Element tags used to be lovely and easy, now though I won’t be able to readily export and import my own content should I decide to change CMS. This is already a bit of an issue with social media. Instead of element tags being descriptive they’re now alphanumeric strings. This makes it harder on engineers because while yes you can copy and search for those strings they aren’t intuitive. And while the tags I’m looking at for my own site are descriptive they’re getting really unwieldy, and that’s were errors creep in too.

And this matters because I had to edit the elements and it’s not intuitive.

So a past post I titled a Comedy of Eras? Yeah it’s felt like I’ve passed through a few of them this week.

But there is even more good news, but I can’t share that yet.
