Hard Drive Packing - ErrThis weekend, I kept on getting warnings that my disk was almost full. The warning said I should delete files that I don't use, because it can seriously impact my computer's speed.

So, first thing I did was break out my external video drive and set up a symbolic link in iMovie. So now, I will be 100% running my videos off this drive. In the past, I just moved the "iMovie Events" to the external drive, but now I set up the "iMovie Projects" to be on the external drive. For that, I had to set up a symbolic link from my local folder to the external folder - the iMovie Event thing was drag and drop, this required some UNIX knowledge.

So I freed up 3GB that way. I then remembered that I don't use parallels anymore. And I remember that file took up over 7GB, so I moved the "winhd" file to the video drive, just to archive it and Now I have ~11GB of space available.

I keep pushing off getting a new laptop, this one is just about two years old. But it runs very slow, especially with all the videos I do. I hear new MacBooks are coming soon, so we will see. I really don't want to upgrade just yet, so I need a big excuse.
