Delete, consolidate, delete... I was working on consolidating what had become some glaring discrepancies between my two portable hard drives, when I got into a delete frenzy and wiped out massive chunks of my last real digital stronghold. It seems like a waste of time, organizing information that I just wind up deleting later, but, as I've said before, it's a necessary process. I recognize that the time I'm spending holed up in a corner working on this little project are hours I'm not spending doing the things that are truly important to me. And perhaps it's really better just thrown out the window than salvaged. At the end of today, I have 28 gigs that I consider valuable, and a damaged hard drive.
It all comes down to a desire to be rid of all these... things. Is there such a thing as being the opposite of a hoarder? A compulsion to part with everything instead of saving it? Perhaps so.
