Baseball

I watched 3 baseball games this past weekend. I enjoyed them very much. I was impressed with the team member’s ability to work together and make it look so easy. I never played team sports like this – or at least I was never very good at it. It was amazing to me to see these 14 year old kids throw the ball from the catcher all the way to 2nd base and get the runner out. It looks so flawless! The timing and aim looked so well practiced! Since this is a defrag blog, it made me think about files organized on the hard drive. Are they able to be retrieved with the speed of a 75 MPH fast ball thrown by a 14 year old right in the box? In my case yes as I have Diskeeper, but for many people I
would say no.

BTW - I am now a baseball fan!

Idle time

I wish I had InvisiTasking for my life. That would be way cool. I could fit in all the “work” I cannot complete in my normal work day during my “idle” time. Those fractions of a second before I fall asleep I could put on a load of laundry. Or, when I am dazedly staring at my closet in the morning picking out something to wear, my personal InvisiTasking would kick in and I could make the kids breakfast before school. Wow, the best one would be just after a pretty intense meeting when you need those few precious downtime seconds to regroup, I can get 152 of my morning emails handled! Please, someone make InvisiTasking for my life!

At least there is InvisiTasking in my defragger: http://www.diskeeper.com/Diskeeper/invisitasking-technology.aspx

Should you defrag?

Well, I work at the company who makes the best defrag in the world so I would say yes of course. A few weeks ago I somehow removed Diskeeper from my system (I was playing around and testing different editions on my system). My PC started to get so slow I was checking all sorts of things (as I stupidly had not realized I had removed Diskeeper). I then decided to check defrag and found it GONE! I reinstalled it and my system is back to speedy life. Phew!

The 5 biggest myths of fragmentation

Myth #1: The built-in defragmenter that comes with Windows® is good enough for most situations because it can be scheduled.

Feeling fragmented

I am a bit tired today mainly because my contacts are dry and need to put in new ones. This makes everything I look at seem fragmented.
