Pretty Funny (or Sad, Depending on Your Perspective)



A while back, when I was pretty much exclusively drawing pictures of Britney Spears, I created a specific folder on one of my hard drive partitions devoted to her. It had several sub-folders to contain the original images I had downloaded, the Photoshop file versions of images I was drawing, and a folder for the finished jpegs.
Today I managed to burn a DVD archiving all of my "Britney" files, so afterwards I decided to free up some hard drive space by deleting some of the images that I no longer needed to keep on my hard drive. Among the folders I completely cleared out was the "Downloaded Images" folder. The screen capture above is from when I deleted all of those files.
I just find it amazing (and amusing) to see how many images I had downloaded of her.
Stil, as pathetic as I may be, I can take comfort in not being the geeks who took the time to scan all of them and post them to the Internet (though not a lot of comfort).
Apart from successfully burning that DVD (And there were other files on it; Britney didn't take up an entire DVD. Almost, but not quite.) I also managed, with some difficulty, once again caused by my own retardation, to make my network secure.
Not only is it secure, but unless someone knows the name of it, no one in the area can even see that it exists. Well, presumably, anyway. I'm sure there's some way around my security features, but it's at least as secure as it can be.
I'll post more of an update later (hopefully), but for the time being I just wanted to share my amusement (and my shame).
