Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

You're technologically way ahead of me. And way more organised. I never even manage to move the files I share between laptop & desktop to the file server!

I started using gdocs for Yuletide a couple of years back because I was terrified of my computer crashing and just kept on - although then they changed the interface to make it much less user friendly.... :)

I have too many old computer hard drives sitting around waiting for data to be retrieved, but somehow it never gets to the top of my to do list...

This conversation inspired me to get started on using Dropbox properly - copied my photos over to it and it has now spent several hours syncing them from one computer to the other! ;)
Hopefully it will be faster when I am only syncing working files!

That sounds very useful!
