I'm workin' on it.

There are more than 750 posters, and each has to be downloaded individually. My computer went down on the 11th (which is to say that it required a clean install of the OS, and the last time I backed up was last January) so that set me back a bit.

Then my darling little grandson gifted me with his cold, thereby setting me back just a bit more.

I started downloading again this morning, and the support folks at SugarSync decided that today would be a good day to pair me with a script monkey to fix the failure of their beta software to work correctly on my computer. I had a four hour LogMeIn session with him, and all I have to show for it is a second instance of ProcDump (because he didn't know how to use it from a location that was unfamiliar to him*) and repeated application crashes. I've got space on Skydrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Box and Gladinet so SugarSync is out the door as soon as I backup my data.

Bottom line, I only downloaded 60 posters so far today.

But I WILL get there. By the end of the week. Really.

(Apologies for the rant. He gave me such a headache that I'm seeing white light.)

*And even that didn't matter, because once it was running in a familiar location, it turned out he didn't know the correct name of the process for which he was trying to collect a log file. Arrgggh!
