- TATE BRITAIN GALLERY

- I recall going to visit Tate Gallery who were open 'late' night Friday...040823. I practiced doing some drawing there...; as well as, meeting a few people (poetry class/I showed some guy, Origami bird; he took me animating it on his phone). I also ran into some girl...Shermin, I think, her name was...who had seen me (pre-Covid) drawing at The National Portrait Gallery on late night Friday's. She informed me...they are not doing late night Friday drawing at The National Gallery; as NPG lacks the necessary funding, at the moment.

EXTERNAL STORAGE: CD RW/4.7 GB

Today, Sun 060823, I found a CD RW 4.7 GB...which I decided to pop into the CD tray to test. Sure enough, it works...I can now store files really very easily up to 4.7 GB worth.

The limitations are...

- both 'reading/writing' data to the CD is rather 'slow'...as opposed to 'reading/writing' to an SSD drive (but, manageable, if one is patient)

- what if I were to lose the CD/or, it were to become accidentally damaged/(stepped on)...???

- the data both is/and, isn't 'portable'...with online storage...you can be sure you can get to your data from any computer in the world; but, when data is stored on disc...you have to carry it physically with you, all the time...otherwise, you no longer have access


- because the CD RW is NOT protected in any way...anyone gaining access to it...is able to view ALL files

LINUX/UBUNTU

I tried to download...

- https://www.balaenaetcher.com
- https://www.ubuntu.com

...in order to run Ubuntu from off my external hard drive; but, most unfortunately, it didn't work.

I did download balaenaEtcher normal version/as opposed to 'portable' version; so, maybe, I should have tried doing that, instead.

All I know is I want desperately to be able to work with the GUI version of Linux Ubuntu...so, that I can get to practice more.
