Link to the English version of tip and tricks I gotU With The GT120
On my first trip to Chile in 1996 on the end, I got stung my bag backpacks, clothes, po serious, most importantly, I had it on me. Cons by more than half of my films were in the backpack, this is really bad luck, especially when we imagine they will not do anything, great memories on which I relied, pfuit!
So, on my last trip to Chile in 2008 I took about 10,000 photos, or approximately 50 gigabytes, they can never replace those that were stolen, but y 'has very beautiful anyway. I anticipated a hard drive, a USB key and DVDs as backup. I relied on cyber cafes and youth hostel to transfer the memory card to HDD and DVD all these photos.
the first day, the PC used to Santiago in the youth hostel has blown my 250G external hard drive and a usb key 16G, bummer! Note, better the first day that the last and lose everything by doing too much confidence! Suddenly, I had 2 dead weight to lug around during the entire trip before returning for exchange under warranty. Exchange that took 9 months for the DD! happiness.
The only way that I had to keep those gigabytes of photos is to burn them to DVD. The DVD burner is a common feature in Europe, already a little less in Chile, overtaxed, overpriced and not always easy to find, so finding newer and faster PC is the galley! Crisp detail on some PCs, it is not possible to delete files on which the photos were transferred from pc configured by limiting many functions. Hello confidentiality and the potential use of data by third parties!
For burning DVDs, you can imagine spins needed to adapt to different burning programs that exist, not to mention the English and its subtleties when it comes to understanding what I mean the little check box bottom right ...
To ensure a minimum of backup, I have all burned to DVD, double. The one I kept, the other I sent to the family, 2-3 DVDs per shipment once received and confirmed that they were readable, I erase memory cards the camera.
It went well, good, of course, express mail Chile does not have the same definition for the word express up to 25 days, not very profitable as an investment compared to 10x cheaper price for the item type fast , m'enfin is to integrate the disappointments and unexpected expenses.
To avoid troubles past, for this next trip to Iceland 2009 , I try to be as independent as possible, so, I enjoyed a good offer to buy a notebook 15.6 ", 650 .- CHF. Reasonable price for the use I want to do the little inconvenience, it is in Vista, not know this OS, it seems a bit in shambles, I'll find out.
Initially, I wanted to buy one of these little netbook, no burner, just planned to work with USB ports and Internet with a screen 9-10 "sufficient to transfer the memory card on some keys and USB external HDD but not very efficient for almost the same price. Certainly, a netbook is 3 times lighter, must make a choice. If I want to correct a little bit more photos via Photoshop for example, the netbook would not bear it, the choice is simple.
this notebook, I'll dedicate it to the holidays, hoping he takes the shot and I'll do me not fly too fast, there's no reason the country is deemed quiet ...
Configuration notebook, put the necessary programs in connection with the photos, it's done pretty well, just takes a little patience and do not be afraid to stay up late to finish an installation. You know, the one that has quickly made and that eventually you eat four hours late, very late at night. O (
is somewhat the case now, in fact, once installed everything on 150G It only remains for me only 60G free, regardless, so, I opt for a bigger HDD I installed, 320G, and there ... what's that long and tedious to copy everything via the Ghost backup made in this Optical ... the alarm will ring soon!
Fi Problem. I realize that the time capsule wifi connects only 2-3 minutes and "plant" Research Update wireless driver, forum search similar cases, as usual, missing the small detail of the problem not found in others. It takes time, lots of time. Finally, after 4 nights on the problem and go to bed at odd hours with a lot of research, install, reinstall, change settings and lots of tweaking, I ended up doing something illogical, install the previous driver installed for that of Origin ... Bingo, what happiness. Must say that it helps to know a better pc, but in the end certainly not essential handy.
say that it should work without having to do all this, normal po! How to operate the help-line and pay for ruining the average person? Buy a computer!
So that's all good, a few months before departure, I am easy on the option chosen for the backup of my pictures, this notebook is ready, now, do not leave me!
Passion, you cost me dearly in time, patience and financially!
But the result is so beautiful! : O) a +
for further adventures ...
