I agree that you will need space around the scanner.

How easy is it to name and file the documents and photos?

I've developed my own naming system for scanned stuff over the years so I guess I don't think about it that much any more. Images are named according to the driver, year and the number of images already in existence, while documents are named according to publication, date and then the scan number.

For example a picture might be saved as paul_1991_25.jpg and a document might be saved as sc_aug84_01 where sc stands for Short Circuit magazine. If I was scanning from Motoring News, I'd use the prefix mn, and asport for Autosport along with the publication date, as those are a weekly. Motor Sport or Prix Editions get a similar treatment to Short Circuit as they are also monthlies.

Race programmes get done with each page as an individual file, before then being stitched together in a pdf and named according to circuit and date.

I was thinking about this the other day, I was looking at the amount of stuff we've accumulated and thinking that if our sons had to clear this place it would be a nightmare.

Mrs P and me will shift a load of stuff when we retire again in a few years.It is the Northumberland coast for us,to see out our final days.we both thought it would save the kids so much trouble if we dumped stuff ourselves.

This chromebook is lovely,but scrolling on a pad is difficult.Just a twitch of a finger and off the page goes.so i am going to see about getting a mouse to stop the jumping and give me more control.I have noticed two things already one my eyes are not as tired secondly i still kant spell.

While I've been at work, a roll of bubblewrap was delivered.

In common with a lot of people I have got far too much stuff I do not need anymore. I don't really want to dump any of it but I could do with a car boot sale and sell a lot of it. Mean? Me?
On line sales are not really handy as transport from an island gets complicated and expensive as well as prospective buyers not being able to see things in the flesh so to speak.
OTOH if I get rid of it I will need it pretty soon after and need to get replacements.
I did give away a lot of bike related stuff and one bike which was not worth much due to surface rust but still sound.
My old Flying Scot I also gave to an enthusiast who restores them. Still got three folders and a GTech ebike and a decrepit Raleigh shopper.
.The trike stays of course even if no eassist.
Hundreds of assorted books many which belonged to my late wife.

Been trying to fix my parents broadband. Ridiculously noisy line when using the landline phone and sure enough a fault showed up when they ran a line check.

Engineer will be out next Friday to investigate! What wonderful service. Good job it's not a business line.

I indulged myself with a nice girly pamper session. Now sat by the fire with a and a couple of Lindor.
