Before it goes bang and the romans start shagging.

It being my pc and the romans shagging (and killing) are on tv in "rome"
:>

I have had the "blue screen of death" tonight once already and it is being a total tortoise (even freezing up as I type this) so I may not be able to catch up on everything I want to.

An eventful day today. Full of stuff I can't mention or I would have to kill you blah blah blah.
:yawn:
A meeting about the brand new sparkly way we are going to be doing our jobs. Which of course is being rushed in, untried, with hardly any proper processes in place, just to keep us on our toes.
>:XX
They must have thought we looked bored. No you fools, that is the look of a room full of people suffering from work induced depression! Except me. I just sit there like a torettes sufferer and say all the wrong things to all the wrong people.
It makes me laugh! sorry.

In other news,

Noticed earlier on a bottle of baby oil "Keep out of reach of children"

Eh?

Digital manipulation

by Old-Nick @ 2007-06-27 - 11:47:53

No not wanking you vile minded filth hounds.

Greybags did a post earlier about a new digital camera he is thinking of getting. This started me thinking about how so much general stuff only exists in digital form.

For example, I have some old photos of my dad in the navy during the second world war – just mucking about with his mates on the ship and posing for the camera. If they had been taken on a digital camera, I would probably not be able to look at them now as the technology then would be incompatible with what we would have in the present day. Unless they had been printed out they would have been lost. I know that the vast majority of the pictures I have taken with my digital camera only exist on disk or on the hard drive of my pc. As computer technology advances so fast, I am either going to have to print them all out or get rid of them or spend the rest of my life copying them from one memory stick thing to another as the technology moves on.

There are books in the British Library that were written by hand in the 1600’s. Although we need someone to translate them from Latin or whatever, we can still “access the data”. The Library has been collecting articles and prose from the web, but already they are having trouble finding ways to read the older stuff and have to keep transferring it onto new systems. But they are having trouble keeping up as they have so much of it.

Are we in danger of loosing all our digitally stored memories and thoughts as the tech side speeds off into the future?
