| 6ixStringJack: For most people that would be enough, but I don't trust online companies and that they'll keep your stuff online forever after you've uploaded it. You've seen what happened to your own post history here before and now to the entire site, and it's run by a guy who actually wants to keep it running (or at least has, up until this point). Think of this as cloning your egg and putting that egg into different baskets and just doing everything within your power to make sure that if and when your computer ever craps out on you for good that you don't lose all of your work along with it. If you really have no old sent copy of your book in email anymore and it's not sitting in your sent folder from 3 years ago, you really need to at least get an up-to-date copy emailed to yourself at the very least just in case your computer goes. |
| 6ixStringJack: Forget the USB for now. We just want you to open up File Explorer, go to your Documents folder, and make sure you see your newest copy of your book sitting there as a Word Document. Once you see that, you can start an email to yourself in your web browser, and you can drag and drop the book into that email with your mouse (by clicking on the book and HOLDING down the left mouse button in File Explorer and dragging that over your email and releasing the mouse button). That should either automatically add the book to the email, or ask you if you want to attach the document to your email (to which you say yes). Then just make sure you've got your email address in the TO: filed of your email and you'll send yourself a virtually indestructible copy of that online before we even think about your USB drive. |
| 6ixStringJack: It's only as complex as you make it. Think of the USB drive as a brief case. But it's a briefcase that has a hidden compartment that if you open that up you can step into a room with a few thousand file cabinets inside of it. You don't have to make use of any of those file cabinets or room for your files, but if you wanted to use them, they are empty and waiting for you beneath the surface. For now though, you never have to peek under the bottom of the briefcase and you can just copy a few files over to it and never look under that secret compartment. |
Brenda: Okay, all that USB talk just made me nervous again.  |
| Brenda: When I did it originally it was an attachment. That original email is looong gone. I started working with her in around 2022. |
| 6ixStringJack: That USB drive you got for $15 is an amazing piece of tech for how cheap things like that have gotten over the years. At better-than-average sound quality, you'd have no problem storing over 1,200 songs on it. For only around $150 you can buy a drive large enough to store more than 1,000 BluRay quality movies. My problem is that even though I've done a great job at cleaning up my real-life hoard, I've got this digital hoard that needs to be sorted through. |
6ixStringJack: What I would like to do, Brenda, is get you comfortable enough with basic folder/file structure 101 so you're not afraid of doing things like backing up your files or making new folders to put things like pictures inside. Once we verify your book is right where you last left it (whether that's in your Documents folder, the Desktop or wherever else it could be hiding), I want to get you to create your own sub-folders in the documents folder for easy storage. It's just as easy to create folders on your USB thumbstick that you just bought too. With that little 8GB thing you bought for $15 the other day, you could download and store a copy of every single book you have ever read or would ever like to read on it and have plenty of room to spare for every photograph you have that you want to save as well. You just need to know the basics of using them and not be afraid of them is all.  |
| 6ixStringJack: Hey Ted. Chris Matthews is a retard and I'm going to shove that article right back up your ass in November. |
| 6ixStringJack: So we need you to open up File Explorer, left click on "Documents" on the left side and one of the files you see in the right pane should be your book Word Document with whatever name you gave that file. That's the one we want you to email to yourself when you confirm it is there and that it's the correct version of your book. |
| 6ixStringJack: Last night I had a very slight concern that you may have overwritten your original Word Doc Book with the edited one, but I forgot the part where you said that was a Google Doc. That was likely just a link to Google Docs that opens up in your web browser when you click it. So your original book is still safely in the Documents folder (or at least it should be, if you haven't verified that yet). I still haven't heard a 100% confirmation out of you that you know for a fact that the latest editable version of your word doc is in the Documents folder. |

| 6ixStringJack: Brenda, messed up your file transfer or email? No. I don't see how that could be releated. Although I don't know what level you mean on. It's possible that you had certain defaults in place on one program or in Windows and an update that happened while you were moving things around may have switched up a default setting on where files were loaded to and from, maybe? |

| 6ixStringJack: Trump talking with Sen Warren about capping credit card interest at 10% for one year: [go to link] I dunno man. Back in 2003 without a job and a penny to my name, I had tons of credit. I had only around a 730 credit score and my highest interest rate was 12.99% with the lowest being 6.99%. Today my credit score is over 830 (damn near a perfect 850), and my lowest rate is 24.99%. Something is wrong with credit. I don't want to hear either side whining about why. Figure it out. |
| 6ixStringJack: Oh... Brenda. You also have the option to go allllllllll the way back to when you first emailed your book to that editor too. That copy you sent should still be attached to the email you sent out. If you can find that email with your working word document already attached, you can then reply to it with your own email in the TO: field and you will forward over a new version of your book to yourself. |
| 6ixStringJack: Hey Second. Shut up, you whiny little faggot. Your finished. Nobody will ever listen to or take you seriously about anything ever again. |
| 6ixStringJack: Okay, Brenda. So you see your working word doc in the Documents folder then? That's the one you want to attach to an email and send to yourself. If you follow the earlier instructions with "Opening File Exploerer" and then going to the left side "Documents" pane, you should see your word document as a choice when attaching your file. (I'm not sure if you dragged and dropped the file into your email when you sent it to the editor, or if you added it to the email through dialog boxes). Either way is fine. If you see the book there, just do it the same way you did when you sent your original book to your editor. The only change you're making here is that you're going to email it to yourself instead of somebody else. |
