Saturday morning last Xaosseed was over - we had pancakes, much fun was had. In the course of the morning I finally got around to doing something that I had been meaning to do for some time. Defragment my hard drive.

Xaoss was here when I analysed and a little bit of him died when he saw the tide of red fragmented files that filled the screen.

Actually that image probably makes it look better than it was since there was another defrag before that one which didn’t do as much.

The reason it took me so long to get around to doing this was that my hard drive was too full to defragment properly, something which only aggravated the situation. But a few DVDs full of data later space had been created and the defrag, which took quite a while, had created a lovely calming blue sea on the screen. It really makes a big difference, stuff just happens more quickly. And most importantly battlefield maps load more quickly to facilitate a different sort of fraging.

So be nice to your computer, treat it to a metaphorical hot bath and a massage.* Defragment your hard drive today.

*Note the word metaphorical in this sentence. The  author does not recommend giving your computer a bath of any sort, and massages are only likely to unplug cables or result in electric or static shocks.
