caddymanI have been clearing stuff off my P:/ drive at work – it is a personal drive held on one of the servers – rather than locally and switching stuff to the C:\ drive instead. This is largely because we are not supposed to keep pictures and/or movie/audio files on the system and IT are having a purge on any files of the wrong type to free up space. Other than a surprising amount of jpegs, I have nothing else and certainly nothing to worry about, but I just spent a while moving them so I could sort them out and keep the ones I want.
In the middle of this exercise, I found myself schmoozing through the folders I’d marked personal (that being the natural home for such rubbish) and discovered a fair amount of stuff I’d forgotten about. As you might expect, for instance, there’s nearly as much old NWO stuff on the work computer as there is the home PC. There are snippets of started but unfinished stories and redrafts thereof, particularly Dimpler Towers (which I ought to revisit at some point) and some examples of Mort’s shenanigans from back in the days when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
immerwahr and ysharros used to run their PBM En Garde game.
The oddest thing there and something which gives very little clue to what I intended, has three paragraphs setting the scene for what appears to be a short story dealing with “The Holy Dentures of Orleans”. Just finding a Word file with that name is intriguing. I wonder what I was up to before being diverted away from it?
