Sluggish

Cronus has been a little slow lately, and it hasn’t been a memory or CPU issue. But low and behold, I look and my 500GB hard drive (really 465GB, but that’s the whole thing about how hard drives are labeled and the difference between 1000 and 1024, but whatever…)

Where was I? Oh yeah, the drive was 97.8% full.

I just deleted some stuff I’d downloaded that I could get back any time I wanted if I wanted but at the moment I don’t want, and got it down to 88.6% full. That is a lot better, but still pretty full.

I have some more stuff that I’d feel comfortable burning to DVD or such and then removing from my primary drive, but that I don’t feel comfortable completely deleting. So I think maybe tomorrow I’ll go get a blank DVD or two and see what I can do with that. I’d like to get under 80%. Even lower if possible.

I suspect the fullness of my drive may have something to do with some of the slowdowns I’ve had lately. Maybe not, but it certainly seems like 97.8% was pushing it a little bit.

Anyway, time to go watch a DVD with the family. Tonight is an Amy pick. Oh my.
