Yes, the title is a ripoff of the vlog series professional YouTuber Jonathan Paula
does called Jon’s Adventure Vlog, and I can guarantee this won’t be nearly as
interesting.
All the same, there I was in the wee hours of Christmas
morning, in need of a break from a rather tedious task. Sadly, that task was not been delivering presents
to kids. That task had been going
through a few boxes of old computer disks I found in my closet to see if I
could find anything worth saving on them.
So far, not much looks to be worth the effort. Most of it seems like stuff I have several
redundant copies of already, and a lot of the rest is stuff that should
probably be left forgotten to time and space.
One big thing I’m learning in all of this is why current
trends in computing are away from physical media. Floppies were kind of shit, even back in the
day, now that I think about it. Age and
lack of use have not been kind to the ones I’m trying to pull stuff off of
now. Especially on the older disks,
there’s been a lot of corrupted files that just couldn’t be read for one reason
or another.
The good news is that I think I’ve gone through the bulk of
the ones that have anything at all worthwhile on them. That’s a big accomplishment, I think.
From here, it’s just a matter of slogging through all this
stuff to see what I can get. Details as
they become available, folks. Will let
you know as things progress.
