In preparation for the arrival of my new chromebook I'm doing a final review and backup of my data. Not surprisingly, it's all been backed up and current for months.
The downside to this is that I need to sell my existing laptop and start removing my personal items from my work laptop. Some could argue that I shouldn't have had personal data on my work-provided laptop anyway, but the reality is that the lines between work and home have been blurred by companies and employees alike for decades.
That means it's time to sit down, take a long, deep dive into my machines, and see what needs to go where. I think the hardest part is going to be building up another server with utilities -- in my case, I need Libreoffice (or something like it) that can reliably read and reformat DOCX files into Word97-compatible DOC formats. Why? Because Google Drive appears to have lost its touted and much-valued Word-conversion abilities, and my online courses don't know how to build/write documents in a more compatible format.
Alright, enough yapping. Time to get to work.
