Last week I was computer-less for three days while our machine was in the shop being completely upgraded. I mentioned this last week when I was afraid I'd lost all my Firefox bookmarks. I finally figured out how to retrieve them (Kiss my brain!) but I still haven't figured out how to bring over all of my iTunes music. I also have to reinstall all of my downloaded fonts and other programs, one of which is the program that downloads and manages photos from my camera. Unfortunately, the cute pictures of my redecorated laundry room are being held hostage on my camera and I'll have to wait to share them with you.
Until then, I want to join up with Works for Me Wednesday at We are THAT Family with a tip involving computers and cameras. Our computer desk is always a mess but there are a few things we use often--the cord to connect our iPods to the computer for charging and the cord to connect the camera to the computer for downloading photos. They were getting tangled and misplaced, so I had the idea to use one of my favorite gadgets to corral them.
I stuck small 3M Command adhesive hooks on the inside of the door that covers the cabinet where the computer tower is kept. Each cord is wound loosely and hung on a hook, so when the door is closed they are kept neat and they are always close at hand, plus there's less clutter on the computer desk surface! It's not fancy, but it does the job and the Command hooks are easily removable at any time.

Great idea, but I don't think I could get my husband to actually hang cords back up!
ReplyDeletethats a good idea! It's kind of like the vacuum cord. After your done you hang it up! BTW I found the wrong Heidi on the sweet and sinister swap. There are a lot of Kari's and Heidi's! HA!! So its nice to finally meet you via blogger!:)
