I might blog later tonight; I might not. I'm leaving my laptop—the only computer I own—in the office overnight because my tech-savvy coworker told me he could help out with a data-transfer problem. I've been wanting to transfer data from my old, 2009-era desktop Mac hard drive to my current 750-gig external drive, but I'm not able to access the data on the desktop Mac's HD. When the desktop Mac died years ago, its HD was eventually converted into an external drive, but when I plugged that drive into my laptop's USB port, I got a "can't read this" message. My coworker, a Mac-head, has asked me several times to bring my laptop and drives in so he can work on them. I finally brought my computer and drives in today; he gamely cleaned up years of grit off my keyboard (calling it "disgusting," then noting he needs to clean his own keyboard), tried repairing my command key (and failed—it's missing a part), and told me I needed to bring the power cord for the converted external HD. (My 750 GB external drive plugs right into my laptop's USB port, so it doesn't need an extra power cord. The converted HD, by contrast, does.) So I'll bring the requisite cords tomorrow, and my coworker will see about accessing and then transferring my old HD's data into my current external drive. In the meantime, I'll be laptop-less tonight, but I can do most things, including blogging, on my phone, and I've got my portable WiFi hotspot to allow me to watch YouTube tonight without relying on LTE (which is limited to only 3GB a month on my current plan).
Upshot: maybe I'll blog tonight, but maybe I won't.
Meantime, I've got 2 staircases to climb this evening. Joy.
