User Error, and Other Annoying Things (Ulog No. 46)
*"Errare humanum est"* the saying goes.

That's Latin for *to err is human.*

It's one of those things that have mysteriously stuck with me ever since Latin class with Padre Jacinto when I was in school in Spain, during my teenage years.

But this isn't about memories of school...

![0211-Sunset02.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbXRqzzD3R2VPz3Nqg4PJs1Unyw8Z4bDZdmzvTKRodcW2/0211-Sunset02.jpg)
*Winter sunset...*

## *Those Were Some Good Photos, too....*

Earlier today, I was offloading photos from my camera, putting them into the appropriate folders on my computer: Personal, various eBay accounts, Social media and so forth.

In the middle of that *"something happened"* (aka an interruption) because it pretty much always *does,* and I went away for a while.

Then I came back to continue the process... and proceeded (it appears) to delete a bunch of photos from an event Mrs. Denmarkguy and I attended right before Halloween. A bunch of photos I felt *certain* I had already transferred, because they were quite old.

Makes sense, right?

Silly me, for not double checking! Just because I happened to *for once* leave a bunch of images on my memory card did *not* mean that I had forgotten to delete them... so now that entire even is gone, photographically speaking.

That was the *"human error"* for the day.

*Lavender and bee*

## *Perfection is an Illusion!*

I suppose we'd *all* like to think that we can live without making mistakes; and when stupid things like this happen... we cast about for something outside ourselves — or some*one,* perhaps — to point fingers at, and blame.

Truth is, most of us a pretty imperfect human beings. I know *I* certainly am... and in this case, there's nothing/nobody to blame but my own failure to double check and pay attention.

Thankfully, I have a few back-up images on my phone... because it was a bit dark in the room, and my phone takes better pictures in low light than my camera. Still, I feel pretty stupid and annoyed with myself.

Unreasonable? Maybe so... after all, I haven't made *that* particular mistake in more than ten *years.*

And it will probably be a good long while before I make it again!

***"What's the last really stupid and careless "user error" YOU have made?"***

On a very recent trip I tied a yellow ribbon on my suitcase handle as usual so that I coud recognize my bag quickly amidst all the others at the luggage pickup area of the airport. Since I have more than one suitcase, of different colors and styles, I tend to just look for a yellow ribbon on a handle. When I am tired from the flight and a long day I don't notice anything else, even the color of the suitcase I am grabbing. 

Anyway, I grabbed a suitcase with a yellow ribboned handle and jumped in a taxi to the city. I booked into my hotel room and then went to unpack my suitcas. To my horrot, there was a lock on it that I didn't recognize. And a name tag of someone else, not me :-)

Getting out of that situation cost me to send this wrong suitcase to another city at my expense, and then go back to the airport to pck up my own - a very expensive little lack of awareness. Hopefully the cost suffered will mean that I am much more aware from now on in similar situations.

I still have an old laptop and desktop computer that I refuse to let my boyfriend clear out and reconfigure because I'm so afraid I haven't backed up something I might need.  I don't think I've opened up the laptop in almost two years, and it's been at least 6 months on the desktop. 😂

Ugh, brings up bad memories of my fake SD card reaching it's actual 4gb capacity despite having an 8gb sticker and sly ability to trick the phone into also believing this deception. The problem is when you go over 4gb the card becomes corrupted and unreadable. After much research I had essentially given up on retrieving the first 2 years of my Malaysian life but still kept the SD card in case I ever found a wizard. At first I was mad as hell at humanity then I realised I should have been using drop box or the like, even dumping onto FB would have been fine.

Fast forward to last week when I checked the irresponsible place in my backpack I was keeping the card and alas it was gone. Probably shuffled itself out somewhere in a hotel room in a after my last adventure.. Not just one event, but many, including candid shots of my family visiting for my wedding, first arrival overseas and the subsequent trips all over SE Asia.

There is just so much space for that human error to reveal it's ugly head and so little space for perfection..

In a, philosophical sense though everyday I step out of the shower and air dry my stuff in front of the fan I realise in errorem Dei in its myriad of ways. Only one of which is an inability or refusal to make my junk feel as fresh and free as it is after a fan drying and powdering.. There's tons of room for improvement in all of creation is all I'm saying. Even if one is an atheist surely they can fault evolution for not answering the call of chaffing..

Thank you for your presence of 'marlians.com'. It is more valued than you may know.

This is 'your boy terry' and at this stage, i am turning to each human and steemian as it has become very pertinent to do so. I have grown very ill and i cater to my dad who is ill. If i continue like this, i may deteriorate beyond repair. I need to heal and i need your help.

Lately, i was in Steemfest to discuss all my projects, including 'marlians.com'. I was there with my last ounce of energy. 
**Listen to my talk:**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYCV8qvyYbQ

At this stage, all my projects (ulogs.org, steemgigs.org, teardrops.network, marlians.com) are set, each model of each one but it is also in these times that my battles have skyrocketed and my health has deteriorated. To be more effective thus, i desire to setup a hub called 'macrohard' in the Philippines, near my house, to enable me gather 'programmers/enterpreneurs' to hasten the development of each of my projects prior to SMT, allow me to have room for a health-rehabilitation and to cater to my dad still. This is very possible but i need your support.

With a 'Macrohard hub' setup, we can emanate 'brothers' and together help many others build their noble dreams.

I have written a **[fundition post](https://fundition.io/#!/@surpassinggoogle/jfnt9dxs7)**and i am now coming out heartfeltly to implore you to support my kickstarter, however small. Please also share this to others confidently.
> Fundition allows you donate using steem, other cryptocurrency or even FIAT. (I also have paypal: comsilbronze4@gmail.com)

Where you have donated something, feel free to send me an email on 'comsilbronze4@gmail.com' containing your steem username. I may be able to help you in return with something, just tell me what it is openly. I would also like to give you some MARLIANS stake to appreciate you. (Note MARLIANS is very related to the TEARDROPS SMT)

I have explained all my projects in a 70-min read **[here](https://www.gofundme.com/f/i-am-in-rubble-arm-outstretched-take-my-hand)**, just incase you want to read more about the histories and stories constituting 'surpassinggoogle'.

Your boy Terry, whether bulls or bears.

I've been there and done that! I think we all have. I now have three separate copies of everything I need, even if it is in "the cloud", because "the cloud" cannot account for me accidentally deleting something.
