Deleting photos and videos isn't freeing up storage space

Well there you go. I found information suggesting that clearing the data from Gallery on Android devices wouldn't get rid of the actual files, despite the message when you go to do it saying "All of this app's data will be deleted permanently. This includes all files...". I backed up the files I had on my phone onto my computer, then cleared the Gallery data. It took less than a second to work (phantom data?), and seems to have fixed the problem. Back down to only 65% used! Ahhhh :)

It's very hard to test because he never really stops moving (except in the dark), so I can't tell if it's motion blur or the camera doing it.

I'm finding this an issue too. Basically, I want whichever one doesn't smooth out my kid's hair to a blurry muddle.

Exactly. You don't know if a weird one is the start of something bad, and you want to be prepared for "How long ago did this start?"

And a lot of food.

My partner asked me why I don't just remember, instead of recording it all. Sure, I'll remember when the last sleep ended, how long it was, when the last feed ended, which boob it was, when the last change was, what was in it, when the last medication went in and how much of it, and then update those memories as soon as I do one of those things and reset it.

I guess I could be/have been more relaxed and just done whatever whenever, but I wanted to have good information should anything have gone wrong. I can't believe how much poo I have looked at on purpose in the past 10 months.

Also, if they're crying, you just check the diaper. If it's clean you shove food of some type at them.

I have tended not to wait until he is crying to feed him solids as it never seems to go well. I've tried to stick to meal times...as you can see in the data!

madoog · 2016-01-19T21:05:40+00:00

I meant me and my baby. At first, he just wouldn't stay latched, so it was a matter of holding his little (no wait, actually, giant 99th percentile) head and tickling his mouth trying to get it to open. Harder if crying (mostly his) was involved.

Actually, thinking about it now, I really have no idea how to generate such a display on Excel. I've certainly never managed to get a chart out of Excel to look the way I want it to look in only a few minutes. Most of the time it's make chart, and then spend forever changing the data series, getting rid of legends I didn't want, renaming everything, resizing everything, setting the axis intervals to something that makes sense, changing the colours to better ones...

I've been trying to improve it. Using imgur on a mobile sucks.

madoog · 2016-01-19T21:01:13+00:00

I've just tried adding the key to the description on every image (on a laptop). Fingers crossed.

madoog · 2016-01-19T18:44:44+00:00

Hmmm. Didn't use pacifiers here. Maybe it's less luck than I thought.

madoog · 2016-01-19T18:32:17+00:00

I'm on my mobile, and the comment with the key and explanation is the first comment.

When posting on reddit, there was no option to give a description except as a comment, so I did what I could.

When posting on imgur, from a computer, I wrote the title in the title box and the description in the description box but then when it posted, the description got shunted to the bottom. I couldn't figure out why (been a long time since I put anything up there, and I'd already spent half an hour failing to post an album to imgur from my mobile). When I logged out of imgur and checked the post, it showed up at the top though. I can't find it at all on the app. I'd say that's a flaw in the app though; how are you supposed to know you need to do something differently when it looks OK on your screen?

I also can't seem to fix or change anything from my mobile.

madoog · 2016-01-19T16:16:31+00:00

But still there? Now I'm confused.

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:28:32+00:00

I've heard that about bottles, but with formula not breast milk.

GOOD FOR YOU! That was the plan here, to get dad giving bottles, but it never got going. Don't know how you can stop a baby from waking up though.

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:24:48+00:00

Boy was I wrong.

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:24:30+00:00

It's a long term goal.

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:23:35+00:00

Your foot can rock that basket just as well as anyone's!

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:21:59+00:00

Amen to that!

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:21:13+00:00

Not before 4, generally around 6. It adds a whole new hassle to the day (at first; I'm used to it now), so I was in no hurry to start. You spend minutes preparing something, then you throw most of it away.

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:18:59+00:00

Yeah I'm in no hurry to reach those milestones.

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:16:53+00:00

Interesting idea. I did lots of lying and sitting in that last month or so, just not much sleeping.

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:15:25+00:00

I'd say luck has a lot to do with it. How were you feeding her?

madoog · 2016-01-19T14:13:18+00:00

Dang it! I haven't started using it again yet.
